The Makhanda Igwijo Competition is an exciting platform for young people between the ages of 15 and 21 to showcase their talent and passion for music. As a nation that sings through every moment of life be it in celebration, unity, or remembrance we recognise the power of Igwijo as a form of expression.

This competition brings together enthusiastic, dynamic, and talented young individuals who will compete through song for incredible cash prizes. Audiences can expect powerful and heartfelt performances, as participants channel their emotions and stories into traditional and contemporary Igwijo melodies.

Join us in celebrating the voices of our youth and supporting them as they express themselves through the rich and soulful tradition of Igwijo. Let’s uplift and inspire the next generation one song at a time!
