THE HARMONIES ARE ECHOING AT UNESWA!: The Ntjilo-Ntjilo Choral Music Competition is in full swing at the UNESWA Sports Emporium, and local choirs are pulling out all the stops!

Choral music lovers are being treated to powerful performances as choirs take on their Western pieces, backed by the rich sound of the Mbabane Chamber Orchestra.

Founder Mathokoza Sibiya says the competition is about more than the music, with a strong focus on growing Eswatini’s music industry through a distinctly Swati approach. Eswatini National Choral Music Association President Sihle Gumbi has also highlighted the remarkable growth of choral music, with increased sponsorship adding even more momentum this year.

THE STAKES ARE HIGH:
A whopping E260,000 is up for grabs, with the Large Category champion set to pocket E80,000.

The voices are soaring, the competition is heating up and one question remains: who will walk away with the crown?
