Ndlovu Youth Choir announced as the opening act for the Durban July

The Ndlovu Youth Choir has been selected to open at this year’s Hollywoodbets, “Out Of This World” themed Durban July horse racing event. The choir, currently performing in Berlin, has been raising the South African flag very high internationally.

In 2019, they managed to get a golden buzzer and reached the finals on America’s Got Talent. They’ve also performed internationally in Amsterdam, New York, Berlin and many other places.

This year’s Durban July will take place on the 1st of July at Hollywoodbets Greyville Racecourse in Durban. The event will see many people from different parts of South Africa flocking into the city for a horse-racing weekend full of glitz, glam and many fun filled activities.

Hollywoodbets excitedly announcement the choir as an opening act in a detailed post.

They shared on their social networks:

“The announcement everyone has been waiting for, the internationally acclaimed Ndlovu Youth Choir will be performing the national anthem at this year’s #HollywoodbetsDurbanJuly!

“Originating from a small town in Limpopo, the Ndlovu Youth Choir shot to fame during their awe-inspiring run on America’s Got Talent, where they captivated audiences with their uplifting performances and infectious energy. The choir’s captivating and soul-stirring performances have earned them worldwide recognition and their participation promises to elevate the excitement and grandeur of the Hollywoodbets Durban July to new heights!  #HDJ #HDJ2023 #OutOfThisWorldZA.”
