Balfour Campus host TVET Choir Competition! On Saturday, May 5, Gert Sibande TVET College Balfour Campus held its first choir competition at the I.M Manchu High School. Students showed off their capabilities in singing solos, mezzo, tenor, baritone & quartets, mixed western & mixed vernacular, poetry, drama, hip-pop dance, pantsula dance, gumboots, pencil drawing and brush painting. The purpose of the competition was to select a winning choir that will represent Gert Sibande provincially with other TVET Colleges. Balfour Campus competed against Standerton Campus, Perdekop Campus, Evander Campus, Ermelo Campus & Sibanesetfu Campus. Furthermore, the aim is to motivate and grow students in the persuasion of their talents by participating in various categories. Campus Manager (Ms Zine Beku) couldn’t
resist holding her emotions with her opening remarks by appreciating the committee for having confidence in Balfour Campus to host such an incredible and noticeable event. Mr M Mbethe (Sports, Arts & Culture Chairperson) made positive remarks about executing such a great event, he later thanked the committee responsible. Participants and choristers braced themselves from hearing final results from adjudicators, as each choir and groups from all categories had a tight head to head battle. The Balfour Campus gave a mega show down of brilliant performances and celebrated four trophies in: Female voice, Male voice, Tenor and drama. However, the Sibanisetfu Campus were the overall winners to represent Gert Sibande provincially. Our most appreciation goes to our Choir Conductor Mr Thulani Thulare for his contribution to this triumph.
Choristers of the Gert Sibande TVET College in Balfour who took part in the competition. The Gert Sibande TVET College annually hosts an annual student event that seeks to establish and encourage a variety of extra mural activities for student participation, and this year was no different. Extra mural activities such as speed typing, spelling bee, debates, public speaking, quiz, Mathematics and Science & innovation competition all recently took place at the Balfour Campus. The overall winners will be selected to represent the Balfour Campus in the G.S College TVET provincial inter campus competitions, facing other campuses from the Mpumalanga district. Because students have different gifts and talents, these extramural activities give them a platform for those that cannot take part in other sporting codes in the campus.
