Dit was \u2019n aand van glans en glorie toe tien plaaswerkers die plaas agtergelaat het om die verhoog te betree in vanjaar se Agri\u2019s Got Talent-kompetisie, wat Vrydagaand (11 Oktober) op die plaas Dawn Mountains buite Simondium gehou is.<\/p>\n
Die 10 finaliste van plase oor die land heen en wat elkeen \u2019n ander posisie beklee, het die beoordelaars behoorlik laat kopkrap om \u2019n wenner te kies.<\/p>\n
Maar, dit was Chester Fisch, \u2019n seisoenwerker in die wynbedryf by Mountain Ridge, Wolseley, wat uiteindelik die beoordelaars en gehoor se harte met sy buitengewone vokale vermo\u00ebns en veelsydigheid wat hy na die kompetisie en verhoog gebring het, verower het.<\/p>\n
Hy het sy dansvaardighede met die bekende Michael Jackson-treffer \u201cThe Way You Make Me Feel\u201d gewys, terwyl sy tweede liedjie, die polities ge\u00efnspireerde \u201cA Change is Gonna Come\u201d deur Sam Cooke (1964), nie meer gepas kon wees om tot die hart en siel van Suid-Afrika se landbougemeenskap te spreek nie.<\/p>\n
Fisch het vroe\u00ebr in \u2019n onderhoud met Food for <\/i>Mzansi<\/i> ges\u00ea hy glo in die toekoms van landbou \u201comdat die w\u00eareld daarop gebou is, en die w\u00eareld kan nie daarsonder oorleef nie\u201d. <\/p>\n
\u201cMense moet eet en daarom is boerdery belangrik. Ek wil bydra tot die bevordering van landbou \u2013 veral onder die jeug.\u201d<\/p>\n
Buiten vir wynmaak, is Fisch ewe passievol oor musiek. <\/p>\n
Deur AGT 2024 te wen, hoop hy om sy musiekloopbaan te bevorder en wil hy jong kunstenaars help om hul talent te laat groei en te ontwikkel. <\/p>\n
Fisch is deur sy lewensmaat, Felicity, aangemoedig om vir AGT in te skryf. Hoewel gospel as genre sy eerste liefde is, blink hy ook in R&B en pop uit. <\/p>\n
\u201cEk is veelsydig en wil graag op alle gebiede groei wanneer dit by musiek kom.\u201d<\/p>\n
Vir Fisch het deelname aan AGT nie daaroor gegaan om te wen nie, maar om as kunstenaar te leer en te groei.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn kompetisies is daar nie wenners of verloorders nie. Ons is almal leerders,\u201d het hy ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n
Chantel Boonzaaier van DGB (Bpk.) Franschhoek het die tweede plek behaal, en Sandile Mathebula van Macdaring Farm in Bombela was derde.<\/p>\n
Die AGT-beoordelaars het ges\u00ea die 2024-kompetisie was die moeilikste nog met \u2019n baie klein punteverskil wat die eerste drie deelnemers geskei het. <\/p>\n
Lungelo Sithole van KMI Boerdery in Bombela het die prys vir die beste sanger in \u2019n inheemse taal, toegeken deur die Afrikaanse Taalraad (ATR), gewen. Haar weergawe van Zahara se emosionele \u201cXa bendingena Mama\u201d was \u2019n onge\u00ebwenaarde kragvertoning.<\/p>\n
Die lirieke, in Xhosa, is \u2019n huldeblyk aan Zahara se ma wat oorlede is. Dr. Conrad Steenkamp, uitvoerende hoof van die ATR, het ges\u00ea AGT is \u2019n unieke projek wat mense uit die landbousektor \u2019n kans gee om in hul moedertaal te sing. \u201cIn Suid-Afrika het ons verskeie inheemse tale om op trots te wees, en Afrikaans is een daarvan. Ons dra ons taal deur sang aan ons kinders oor. Dit gaan nie net oor Afrikaans nie; dit gaan daaroor om die kunste in die moedertaal aan te moedig en te ondersteun.\u201d <\/p>\n
Sedert 2014 ontvang die top-10-finaliste sanglesse by die bekroonde kunstenaar Freda van den Heever in die week in die aanloop tot die spoggerige galageleent\u00adheid. Sy het Vrydagaand ges\u00ea sy vra haarself elke jaar die vraag waar \u2019n mens nog talent kan gaan kry, maar hierdie jaar se deelnemers het weer eens die verwagtinge oortref.<\/p>\n
\u201cEk kon nie glo dat daar weer soveel talent is nie. Hierdie jaar is die kompetisie ongelooflik. Ek wil nie vanjaar \u2019n beoordelaar wees nie. <\/p>\n
\u201cHoe beoordeel jy \u2019n operasanger teenoor \u2019n rapper<\/i> teenoor \u2019n power house<\/i> en elkeen bring sy eie stem?\u201d<\/p>\n
Thea van Zyl, Agri\u2019s Got Talent se projekko\u00f6rdineerder, het ges\u00ea die projek is meer as net \u2019n sangkompetisie \u2013 dit gaan ook oor vaardigheidsontwikkeling . . . vaardighede wat die deelnemers terugneem na hul huise, plase en gemeenskappe.<\/p>\n
\u201cDit gaan daaroor om br\u00fbe te bou en talentvolle landbouwerkers te inspireer om hul drome na te jaag. Landbouwer\u00adkers is die ruggraat van die vrugte- en wynbedryf, die onbesonge helde, en AGT gee hulle \u2019n platform om gehoor te word.\u201d<\/p>\n
AGT is in 2013 deur Hortgro, die Suid-Afrikaanse sagtevrugtebedryfsorganisasie, begin. Vanjaar was die 11de jaar van die projek wat deur Hortgro, die Sitruskwekersvereniging, die Suid-Afrikaanse Tafeldruifbedryf, SA Wyn en die Wes-Kaapse departement van landbou geborg word. Die projek word ook deur FruitFly Africa, BerriesZA en Culdevco ondersteun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
