with the primary objective (/s) of rehearsing and performing choral music, providing musical
services to the community when the need arises, to provide a musical home for all interested in
the greater Pretoria and Johannesburg area and to promote the standard of choral music.
Secondarily Tswelopele aims to educate its members in the singing of all types of choral music,
arrange concerts for the general public to attend, perform choral works with other choirs and
participate in various competitions and music festivals in the community. The choir currently
consists of 48 choristers. The choir being fairly young went to its first (TCMA) competition on
October 18th 2015, winning first place in the development section. The choir has since went on to
perform at Computeshare and Standard Bank respectively. Tswelopele Chorus attended its first GACMA
competition on May 29th 2016 and placed 6TH in the standard category.
The Choir is an NPO (registration number: 168-296) registered on March 14th 2016. “Tswelopele” is a
Sesotho word meaning progress, the choir is an organization which believes in hard work and a
healthy environment to strive for excellence. less - Location: mamelodi, pretoria, gauteng, South Africa [map]
