Briefing members of the media on Friday, the event organiser, Bakang Pusoitsile said the broader mandate of the show is to empower communities. Pusoitsile also said one of the things that will come out of the show is the formation of a choir which will be adopted by the Tshwane Gospel Choir for mentorship. "After the Ikgalaletse show, we will conduct auditions with Tshwane Gospel Choir for the formation of a local choir that will be mentored by one of the top three choirs in South Africa. We are currently in talks with the choirs because we want to empower them. Members of this choir will be mentored and assisted to record and release albums," Pusoitsile said.
