Ekurhuleni\u2019s Got Talent is back and the residents of Ekurhuleni are asked to join in the fun.<\/p>\n
The show had a successful run in 2017, so it was only befitting to have another one.<\/p>
\u201cThe aim of having a show of such magnitude is the fact that, not only will it be entertaining, it will also help to nurture young talent, to get children off the streets in order to prevent and curb drug abuse and to put youth from Ekurhuleni on the map,\u201d said Paul Radebe, the marketing manager for the competition.<\/p>\n
\u2018\u2019The theme, aim and concept of the show are to inspire, educate and promote local talent while helping aid the local economy.<\/p>
