WHO ARE LUTHANDO MADIKIZELA AND NEO MOTSATSE?
Luthando Madikizela is a rising young opera singer who has collaborated with other young artists, showcasing his incredible talent. The Gauteng-based singer wowed audiences at the Roodepoort Theatre last month and hopes to do the same at Wild Coast Sun in Port Edward.
“I am inspired by the words of Louis Armstrong: ‘Music is life itself,’” says Madikizela.
Neo Motsatse started playing the violin at six years old and has since performed in South Africa and outside of Mzansi’s borders. Motsatse has won international music competitions and has also scooped the Standard Bank Ovation Award at the National Arts Festival in Makhanda twice.
