Nkateko Tibane, a Curro Academy Soshanguve matriculant from the Class of 2019 and formerly head boy of the school, recently won first place in the Best Cultural Male Star of the Year category at the Tshwane District ESS Awards held on 28 January 2020.
Mr Tibane’s success stems from entering the public speaking, debate and informal poetry competitions last year at the District competitions – later going on to represent the District at a Provincial level.
Further, Curro Academy Soshanguve received nominations in two categories and was awarded third place in the Gauteng Cultural School Sports of the Year category for their school choir led by Mr Dumisani Chabalala, Head of Arts and Culture at the school.
In 2019, Curro Academy Soshanguve’s choir won first place at the District level and proceeded to the Regional competition where they secured second place on the ABC Motsepe Foundation School Choir Competitions known as SASCE.
