Singers strut their stuff
Local singers took to the stage on Sunday last week for the first round of auditions in the Karaglen Karaoke Star competition.
With a grand prize of R50 000 cash the competition in the first round was stiff.
Judges had a tough task of choosing which singers go through to the next round and with more audition days lined up, those going through will have to give it their all.
The karaoke contest forms part of the recently launched Tiles 4 Change campaign.
For the campaign Karaglen Shopping Centre teamed up with Edenvale Community Police Forum (ECPF) and Karaoke Connection.
Throughout the campaign residents stand to win massive prizes.
The Tiles 4 Change campaign aims to lead the way to a drug-free community.
In addition to its R25 000 donation towards the grand prize, Karaglen Shopping Centre and Karaglen Spar have agreed to sponsor a wall where residents, families, businesses and schools can pledge to be drug-free.
By donating R10, each person who pledges to go drug-free will have their name placed on a tile which will be mounted at the entrance to Karaglen Shopping Centre.
Businesses who pledge that their staff is drug-free, will pay R1 000 for its name to be placed on the wall.
Another R25 000 has been pledged by competition sponsor Karaoke Connection for the first prize.
Other prizes will include weekend get-a-ways and cash prizes.
The aim of the fundraiser is to show the youth that there are other options out there and they do not have to turn to drugs to have a good time.
Registration will take place on audition days from 9am to 12 noon with auditions kicking off at 1.30pm.
