MBABANE METHODIST CHURCH CHOIR FLYING TO GERMANY

MBABANE – Their mission has been accomplished.

When they decided to participate in the Methodist Church Choral Music Festival, their mission was to win and fly off to Germany.
Mbabane Methodist Church Choir has achieved its mission after being crowned champions of the festival. This happened last Saturday during the finals of the festival held in Bloemfontein. The trip to Germany is worth over E500 000 and they will be touring different cities and sharing music with different choirs from around the world. The Germany tour is strictly for all Methodist faith choirs across the globe .

The choir competed with 12 choirs from the Southern African region and indeed they managed to become overall winners.
The choir won in all the song categories, impressing the adjudicators.
The choir conducted by Menzi Gule qualified for the finals after becoming the overall winners of the Highveld and Swaziland Methodist Competition held in Thembisa two months ago.
The choir scored an overall mark of 156 which saw them crowned as winners.

In this competition they competed against other countries such as Namibia, Botswana, Mozambique, Lesotho and South Africa.
Vusi Dlamini, the choir’s vice chairperson thanked everyone who supported them as they were preparing for the festival. He said although the competition was tight, what helped them is that they came well prepared as they had been rehearsing daily.

 “We are finally guaranteed that trip to Germany, to represent Swaziland. The win on Saturday was amazing and our confidence levels have been boosted. All the choristers were eager to win as they all wanted to go to Germany,” he said.
He said  their focus was now on the Ntjilontjilo Choral Fest to be held on Sunday, and they have already started preparing for it .
 “While we were preparing for this festival, we were also busy with the preparations of the upcoming music fest this Sunday October 14. This is one competition where we have to prove ourselves. 
The choir is still waiting  for their full Germany schedule and tour dates.
