TOTI boy, 10-year-old Stuart Green, has been accepted for the Drakensberg Boy’s Choir following an audition in Durban. He will join the choir next term in their farm near Cathkin Peak.
Stuart, son of Mr. and Mrs. Cliff Green of 9 Hartley Place, is a Standard 4 learner at Amanzimtoti Primary School. He was a member of the Durban Boys Choir.
As a member of the Drakensberg choir he will have to do his normal schoolwork, plus two hours of singing and an hour of piano lessons each day. In addition the boys do chores about the farm for which they are paid.
They also learn riding and can keep and care for their own horses. In June, Stuart will go on tour with the choir to Lourenco Marques and Cape Town among other places.
