When the Ndlovu choir sang, we were all South African. Music can unite the world, if we let it. I can not wait to join the Londolozi women’s choir next week.

The Londolozi Ladies Choir insisted I join them as they recognized my 70th birthday! I had a blast–and learned some new dance steps!

Jemma, I read this with interest as I had no idea this young choir existed – I don’t watch reality tv shows. However, after playing the videos I realized what a fabulous group of young people these are, and I am thrilled they had this amazing opportunity, after drying my tears….. I don’t know the outcome, but whatever it was, they are winners in my book. Thanks so much for sharing.

Now we need to do our part and work as hard as these young people have to make the world a better place for them – they lift us all up with their love and joy of music. Be proud Londolozi, be proud South Africa.

Jemma, thank you for sharing this blog with us all. I actually did see the shows, though I am not a big reality TV person, but happened to see the first and second acts, however missed the final one. I had tears in my eyes each time I saw them and I have to say that the gentleman who is the conductor deserves a round of applause for doing this for those young people. Out of something bad comes something good and these young South Africans will go far, it will not end after America’s Got Talent. Bravo to all of you and I pray this is just the beginning for these young people.

I watched their every performance. They were incredible. I voted for them every time on line. And yes, I also was brought to tears. I was so proud of them. Made me feel even closer to South Africa. They were beautiful representatives of your wonderful country. They made it to the top ten and they should be very proud. I hope a new door has opened to them and they change the world even more. Thank you for shining a light on them in todays blog.
