Children of the Sakhuluntu Cultural Group had an early Christmas on Saturday at their end-of-year party in Kota Street, Extension 9.

Sakhuluntu founder, Vuyo Booi, said, "All children who are members deserve to get something from the organisation and that's why we are hosting the Christmas party."

Children of the Sakhuluntu Cultural Group had an early Christmas on Saturday at their end-of-year party in Kota Street, Extension 9.

Sakhuluntu founder, Vuyo Booi, said, "All children who are members deserve to get something from the organisation and that's why we are hosting the Christmas party."

He had organised gifts for them and said the event was meant to motivate children in their efforts for the community.

"What is work, without crowning those who excel in their work?" she asked.

Members of Sakhuluntu, Extension 9 residents and performers from Trappes Valley enjoyed a performance of Sophiatown-style dances by the Sakhuluntu traditional dancers.

Extension 9 resident Thuleka Kula congratulated Sakhuluntu for encouraging the children and passing on these skills.

"I wonder what are these children without Sakhuluntu in this area, because most of them are not getting that full support from their families," said Kula.

She said she would support Sakhuluntu forever.

Sinawo Sodidi, one of the Sakhuluntu dancers, said she greatly appreciated the love from Sakhuluntu.
"I will continue dancing up until I see myself dancing professionally on television," said Sodidi.

Sakhuluntu trains and promotes children in the skills of traditional and gumboot dancing, as well as mural-painting, drama and singing.
