In 2021, Bongani Magatyana began to realize his dream of starting a Children's community choir in Khayelitsha Township, Cape Town. Bongani is a professional musician, choir director and composer based out of Khayelitsha. He is well known in South Africa and internationally as a versatile composer and educator who draws inspiration from the rich South African choral singing traditions. As Bongani traveled around the world as a workshop leader, he was inspired by the children's choirs that he encountered. Bongani was determined to launch a community initiative in his neighbourhood.

Khayelitsha Children's Choir is a place for young singers to study traditional and contemporary South African choral music as well as be exposed to singing traditions from around the world. Already, this choir has caused great excitement and enthusiasm within the community. After auditioning many singers, the choir has just over 30 singers and there is strong parental involvement
