People who impressed the judges and audience won a variety of rewards, including money, food, and clothing.
TCF spokesperson, Xolani Mnisi, stated the community needed something to lift its spirits after experiencing the worst strikes against service delivery.
“The town has experienced the most hardship this year, so we believed the youth dancing competition would benefit the community.
“Many people take pleasure in the sense of rivalry, whether it is in real life or on stage. Dance competitions can be enjoyable and you can always learn something whether you win or lose.

Mnisi also claims a large number of people from the neighbourhood attended the dancing competition to both participate in and watch.
“We want to express our gratitude to everyone who came, participated, and supported us. Seeing the community come together meant a lot.
“The sense of unity we experience when we are together as a community via anything is something that we can all connect to. Our spirits can be raised by encouraging and applauding one another.
