When Odwa Mvunge return to his birth community in 2012, after completing his music education studies at Nelson Mandela University, not much has changed. There still was no place in Zolani for The Youth to express Themselves in cultural activities that was not offered at School nor in The community. After School The Youth would loiter around without direction. This lead to The formation of The Zolani Youth Choir. The basic idea and purpose of The Choir is to equip Youth of our community with basic music skills.
