Music Matters - PULSE

15/03/2026

Hi everyone,

We almost forgot—please help us welcome Boinelo and Mbalenhle, our new South PULSE participants! They arrived on Thursday after a long trip and were quite tired and jet-lagged. Despite that, they were ready to get to work the very next day while also settling in.

We’re excited to have them here and look forward to working together. Please join us in giving them a warm welcome!😊❤️
