The South African choir was set up according to its founders to give hope to young people.
Some of the choir members have lost their parents and come from poor backgrounds. That is however not stopping them from showcasing their talent on a global stage.
Watching @ChoirAfrica’s final performance on @AGT filled me with immense pride & hope for the future. Our star always shines the brightest when we showcase who we truly are as South Africans. Wishing the #NdlovuYouthChoir the very best. In our eyes you are already winners. pic.twitter.com/x2y6CtAMoQ
