Mookana Youth Club was established in 2001 as an outlet for youngsters who are passionate about one of the greatest of the traditional art forms, cultural dance. The main objective, explains club coordinator Keneilwe Makganye, is to develop members’ abilities and thereby engender a sense of pride in the dancers themselves while making a contribution towards preserving a vital aspect of Sotho culture for future generations.
Visitors are welcomed with open arms, as much for the opportunity to showcase the members’ talents as for the exposure to both national and international audiences. “In this way we’re hoping to spread our unique culture to the whole world,” Keneilwe says.
