Clash of the Choirs reaches a crescendo

The popular reality television show on Mzansi Magic (DSTV) sees local choirs compete against each other for the coveted title of number one South African choir.

In the last episode, the judges led everyone on a song-and-dance when they announced that they would not be eliminating a choir in Sunday’s show, which saw contestants showing off their vocal ranges in the Acapella-themed episode. This week six choirs remain – but this coming Sunday, one will be forced to waltz off stage, whittling the number down to five.

Blanche Olivier, one of the contestants from Team Ziyon, Western Cape, said: “It is very challenging to wake up so early in the morning for rehearsals, and it is my first time ever being on a show. But it is understandable because we have a tight schedule and we need to do things perfectly.”
