Rhythm Syndicates : The Movement in Motion

Posted on by ForYourInfo

Rhythm Syndicate is the child of a shared vision-born from collaboration, passion, and the audacity of a few students who dared to dream beyond the stage. What began as a one-time initiative to celebrate 30 years of choral excellence has blossomed into a multi-faceted creative hub that refuses to be boxed in.
The idea started during the planning of the Roots & Wings concert. But like any vision with heart, it couldn’t stay in one place for long. What was once a project has become a living, breathing movement. Rhythm Syndicate is now a space where creativity is not only welcomed-it’s necessary.
Here’s the thing: everyone is a leader. There’s no hierarchy here. The Syndicates are each powerful in their own right. And when they move as one? It’s magic.

From First Stage to National Spotlight

Debut: Balkan Burger
Their very first live performance took place at Balkan Burger-a cozy, offbeat spot turned impromptu stage. The reception? Loud, warm, and electric. Friends, customers, and music lovers alike tuned in-and stayed tuned in. The feedback was instant: “Where have they been?” It was the kind of night where something bigger than a gig was born.

National Recognition: EDHE Intervarsity Launch
Next came the National EDHE Intervarsity Launch. This was Rhythm Syndicate’s formal introduction to a national audience. Their performance wasn’t just entertainment-it was branding, presence, and purpose all in one. Co-founder and MC for the night, Mbali Mandy Ngube, reminded everyone that the Syndicates don’t just perform-they represent.

Lights, Camera, Syndicateness: Amanda Memeza S2

Then came the Amanda Memeza Season 2 screening. Rhythm Syndicate showed up in full force, this time from behind and in front of the camera. Syndicates Mlondi Bhengu and Sesona Bonke starred in the series, a testament to the group’s artistic range-from music to screen, from scriptwriting to directing. The talent is layered, and the vision is wide.

Enter: Project 2.0

Rhythm Syndicate is currently in the process of recording their very first EP-working title: Project 2.0. At the creative helm is Xolile Ngwatyu, guiding the sound, direction, and branding of the project. It’s set to be a sonic portrait of the Syndicates’ evolution: bold, diverse, deeply South African, and emotionally resonant. But the sound wouldn’t be complete without the ensemble of talented singers that make up the heartbeat of the Syndicate.

These voices are the soul of the movement-each performance is layered with harmony, depth, and feeling. Together, the ensemble and the Syndicates execute a sound that is both spiritual and contemporary.

The Bantu Movement is a historical entertainment project that fuses music, storytelling, and visual symbolism. It reimagines African resistance and unity(collaborations)through a modern lens, using original compositions and historical references. The movement educates and inspires by connecting past struggles to present solutions.

A come back!

I know, I know..

Hey! It’s been a minute, hasn’t it?

I won’t sugarcoat it—life happened, and this little corner of the internet had to take a backseat. But the truth is, I’ve missed this space more than I can put into words. Writing here has always felt like sitting down with a friend over coffee, catching up on all the things that make us think, laugh, and sometimes shake our heads at the world.

So, here I am. Back. And this time, I’m bringing more energy, more ideas, and more of what made this blog special in the first place. Whether you’ve been here from the start or just stumbled in, I promise: we’re picking up right where we left off—but with a little extra spark.

To kick things off, I’m diving into something fresh: A child is born. Think of it as your exclusive sneak peak into what I am now working on- because let’s face it, we’re all trying to keep up these days.

So, let’s get into it. Because this isn’t just a comeback—it’s the beginning of something even better. Ready? Let’s go.

In my 365-day hiatus, life didn’t exactly slow down—it sped up in ways I couldn’t have imagined. I had the privilege of working with the Mandela University Choir, where I wore many hats—writing, composing, and even singing alongside some of the most gifted voices I’ve ever encountered. Together, we crafted what became the highlight of 2024: the Roots and Wings End-of-Year Concert—a celebration of growth, resilience, and soaring to new heights.

Beyond that, I stepped into a national role as a Community of Practice member with the Entrepreneurship Development in Higher Education (EDHE), representing Nelson Mandela University among 26 South African universities. It was an honour to carry that torch while thriving as an entrepreneur—facilitating, emceeing, and taking my place at tables where innovation and bold ideas came to life. This year away wasn’t just a pause; it was a launchpad.

After the curtains closed on the Roots and Wings concert, the magic didn’t end there. The same incredible leadership committee, bound by our shared love for music, theatre, and teaching, knew we couldn’t let that creative spark fade. So, we got to work—dreaming, planning, and building something new, something bigger. What started as a shared vision is now on the brink of becoming a reality, as we prepare to launch a project that merges our passions into a space for innovation and storytelling. It’s been months of collaboration and hard work, and in just a few days, the world will get to see what we’ve been cooking up.

So, like a child would explain to their parents if they didn’t come home the night before, I have come home to explain where I have been, the works must show now. Shall we?

8 best Jerusalema dance challenge videos on TikTok

Posted on by ForYourInfo

Mbali Ngube

The world is currently going through a pandemic, and many have found themselves struggling with mental health and having no reason to smile. Since earlier this year, the gospel-inspired, South African house track “Jerusalema”  by DJ and Producer Master KG along with vocalist Nomcebo Zikode, enchanted people worldwide.

Biography and history

Kgaogelo Moagi AKA Master KG Image via New Frame

Master KG, real name Kgaogelo Moagi, is a South African musician and producer, born in Calais Village in Tzaneen Limpopo. He made his debut appearance into the music industry in 2018 with his album Skeleton Move, which bagged him a number of nominations and awards.  

In October 2019, he and Nomcebo Zikode released the single Jerusalema and it currently sits at over 150 million YouTube views, more than 41.4 million streams, an average of over 7.5 monthly listeners on Spotify, and 326.6 million impressions on TikTok.   

Challenge inception

The #JerusalemaDanceChallenge comes after a group of Angolan friends recorded themselves eating and dancing a new form of the line-dance to the song. Master KG was tagged on the video on 22 February 2020 and shared it on his social media.

 The masses did not hesitate to join the dancing by creating their own videos dancing to the song and sharing on social media, and here is a list of the 8 best #JerusalemaDanceChallenge videos in no particular order.

Let the fun begin!

  President Ramaphosa

What would the challenge be without the President?  During his national address on 16 September 2020, he urged the country to take part in the Jerusalema challenge by saying: “There can be no better celebration of our South African-ness than joining the global phenomenon that is the Jerusalema dance challenge. So I urge all of you to take up this challenge on Heritage Day and show the world what we are capable of.”

He may have not done the original line dance, but he sure enjoyed himself.   

Meme guys

Have you seen the meme with the men dancing and carrying a coffin? If you do then you will find this hilarious and entertaining. Chances are, in the back of your mind you are thinking of them in every other meme video you have seen!

Afro beats

 A little something different from the original sound, and of course more advanced dance moves never killed anybody. The afro beats add that unique African flavor.

Ndlovu Youth Choir

South Africa’s sweethearts Ndlovu Youth Choir, who represented us in the America’s Got Talent put their ever-so vibrant feel to the challenge. The choir is always finding new way to showcase their talent and creativeness.

Soweto’s finest

Soweto’s finest dance group showed up and showed off as they always do, with a remixed version of the dance. They added an authentic flair to the line dance with Soweto’s Finest best moves.

 The Handicap

The song has brought together various people, tall, short, black, white. This video shows just how the challenge has allowed people be it able bodied or not, to come together and have fun.

Kingdom of eSwatini

 Our neighbours in the Kingdom of eSwatini did not want to be left behind. The Swazi people are known for their grace and pride when they dance. They show all this again when they join the challenge, and they showed off.

 Batswana

In South Africa we have 11 official languages and Setswana is one of them. Their signature as a culture is in the way they dance, Setapa. The clapping called Gophaphata which produces a significant sound that goes along with the foot work makes their performances more unique and enjoyable.
