Umtshezi Methodist Choir sings songs of happiness

The choir is participating in various choral music competitions and is a two time provincial champion in the Old Mutual National Festival as well as the reigning provincial champion for the Melting Pot Choral Music Eisteddfod.

Participating in these prestigious competitions and achieving good results has attracted the attention of the National Achievement for Choral Music Awards (NACMA), which awards excellence in choral music.
