Durban dance duo wins inaugural ‘Ballito's Talent' competition
The first-ever 'Ballito's Talent' finale lit up the Lyric Lounge Theatre on Saturday, as 25 finalists wowed a packed crowd in a bid for top honours. Open to all ages and residents of KZN, the competition drew over 70 participants throughout its various stages. From singers and dancers to instrumentalists, the talent on display was diverse and impressive. Taking home the title honours were dynamic dancing duo Jesse (15) and Tristan Koen (10) from Durban. Their performance fused hip-hop, classic Sophiatown-inspired moves and breakdancing into an electrifying routine that impressed both judges and audience alike. Second place went to musician Menzi Mngoma (32) from Richards Bay. Third place was bagged by Ballito's very own Cousin Quartet – made up of Umhlali Preparatory School pupils Emily Wang (13), Molly Wang (10), Willow Paterson (10) and Savannah Paterson (13). The cousins and best friends earned a golden buzzer during their third audition and impressed the crowd on finals night with a vibrant medley of songs from Matilda, showcasing both their singing and dancing talents. A portion of the proceeds from the audition and finals ticket sales, as well as contestant entry fees, will be donated to Bloom Special Needs School. The show was the brainchild of Ballito residents Bev Mileham and Adriana Carvalhaes. With the help of Jordyn Morrows, the trio delivered a memorable event that celebrated local talent and community spirit. They thanked all the sponsors who made the event possible.
