Cape Town’s youth showcased their talent in a show, Mzansi Many Roots One Tree at the Artscape on June 21. The show, which took place as part of youth month celebrations, was put together by singer Vicky Sampson, producer Gabi Le Roux and vocalist Nini Schlechter, as a platform to groom youth often ignored communities to become fully-skilled entertainment professionals. Through their youth development NPC they teach these kids technical skills, the ins and outs of contracts and how to become multi-skilled across all artistic genres to become well-rounded artists. The show serves as a showcase of the skills transferred to these select young cast members whilst also contributing to the financial resources required to fulfill this much-needed development initiative.
