Music lecturer, Neil Gonsalves, said: “The Jazz Jol was started all those years ago as an event for music-lovers and also in an endeavour to raise funds for the Ronnie Mandonsela Scholarship.”
The Scholarship provides bursaries for deserving UKZN music students from disadvantaged backgrounds and helps to fund students’ travel visas and accommodation for national and international events including the South African Youth Jazz Festival in Grahamstown.
Tickets will be available at the door and cost R120 per person, R80 for pensioners and R60 for students.
