Dloko High School Choir

In January 2015 I accompanied an Edinburgh based charity, Jabulani Project on a visit to Durban, South Africa to document the amazing work they are doing with young people there.
This is the first film from a series of shorts I will be producing with the fantastic footage I captured when over. This film was shot in challenging conditions at Dloko High School, Umlazi Township, on 23rd January 2015.

Even though I don't understand any word of the songs apart from "Jesu", I couldn't help dancing along .God bless you all. Love from Nigeria.

[@theresaelliot2866]

From Nigeria also

[@jafar2940]

Woooooooooow what an utterly amazing performance. I’m feeling the SA spirit. Thank you for sharing. Well done to each and everyone of you

[@wanjirunyambura2708]

This is beautiful well done guys,I wish I belong to this choir.....love from Nairobi

[@favour979]

I like their music and their appearance.Look at the length of the girls dresses and their haircuts, they are so presentable , they are real school children. Be blessed my kids

[@stanleydominic8634]

True

[@rickyanthony]

They're just presentable to you. To your grandma they would be sluts because they're showing all kinds of ankle, knee and elbow. Lengths of dress being equal to purity is bullshit

[@ziyandamalingo8666]

Woooow enqabeni sizocasha. Thixo makakhusele abantwana bethu ❤❤

[@matheusnellywange.7814]

I can't understand the language..but I love the power and the lovely voice of you guys..I loved it and just can't stop watching the video even though I'm not understanding a thing.. 😂😂😂 💞💞💞

[@v.bailon4618]

Everyone has their own way of praising to their Higher Power, listen closely and you'll hear it from their hearts. Praise these people....God is with them 👼🎶

[@lumpyfishgravy]

Amazing! Blown away. All those beautiful voices singing together. I hope 2020 finds you all in a good place.
