The WHS blue factor!

If you were one of the individuals who attended the WHS talent show on 27 June 2019, we think you would agree that WHS has definitely got talent! It was an evening of great festivity and fun.

There was a bubbling energy about the room and every act seemed to be more incredible than the one before. The grand evening began with Tuli, the evening’s master of ceremony and old scholar of WHS, introducing the five judges. After this the WHS acapella group, the Acablues, performed a song and did a fantastic job! By then everyone in the audience was ready to see the different acts, each in their creative element.

There were dancers, singers, poets and musicians all showcasing their art, leaving you at the edge of your seat. As Tuli put it act after act: “Ladies and gentlemen wasn’t that amazing?” No other words could have expressed it better.

The program proceeded with a short interval halfway and right before the winners were announced, the audience was delightfully surprised with the incredible talent of guest artist and old scholar of WHS, Le Clue. He shared the story of how he discovered his unique dance talent right there, on stage, in the WHS main hall during the 2015 WHS talent show. Today Le Clue is a great artist and his talent has taken him all the way to Los Angeles in the United States to compete on the international stage.

The winners of each category was announced as follows:

In the dance category Nina and Zani Van Der Merwe took first place, Schwane Blignaut took second place and Uzziel Borei took third.

In the drama category Olivia Shanika took first place, Blessing Mayo took second place and Patience Tsuses took third.

In the instrumental category Kayleigh Cloete took first place, Carin Strydom took second place and Geo Haasbroek took third.

In the vocal category Caitlin Theron took first place, Eben-Ezer Angula took second place and Lize Visser took third.

Last but not least the vocal group that took home a prize was Hilaria Silva, Vanessa Cloete and Bevanette Simaata.

The school would like to congratulate each and every contestant at the WHS blue factor for sharing their beautiful talents with us and for their courage, because competing at such a big event is definitely not for the faint hearted!
