The Fundraising and Reunion Concert done in memory of the late Mpho Moshoeshoe did more than impress the audience which was made up of parents, guardians, friends and families, but also took their breaths away.
Khothatso Mantu who was one of the organisers for the annual fundraising concert explained that African Youth Ensemble (AYE) annually hosts fundraisers and that with this fundraising concert, the memory of the late Mpho Moshoeshoe was being honoured while Kolwane Mantu aka Bra K, the founder was also being honoured for his teachings and dedication over the years.
AYE’s learners from back in the days went to the annual ceremony as well to express gratitude to Bra K, like Olga Maraba who mentioned how her child, Kamogelo Maraba now plays the cello in the same group she learned to play the violin in.
