Here's a video of what Jitsvinger and the Khayelitsha United Mambazo Choir's show is like:

Here are some photos of Jitsvinger on tour in The Netherlands:
My masekind, die journey continue met nog twaalf shows virrie res vannie Nederlandse toer. Die message van solidarity, cultural awakening en preservation van ons musical legacy brand nog steeds diep! Lessons word geleer en met die thoughts polish ek my geweer: Oneness is belangrik, Die Struggle gaan nog once voort, Culture is die brandpunt! Ek kyk saam en maak gebruik van my fondasie met Knowledge of Self as die key na dieper vibrasies. Met my taal het ek die skaal geswaai, saad gesaai en nou watch ek die aarde draai. Danksy die encouragement van my peers ennie fabriek supervisor wat my kontrak kanseleer toe ek 'n casual worker was. Passion het oorgevat. Reckless but ek het die spore getrap... somtyds verlore geraak. Oneness is belangrik, Die Struggle gaan nog once voort, Culture is die brandpunt! My stride is intercontinental, ek is my Pa se Langman, die klank van my Ma se stem is my signal. Ons makeer 'n nuwe anthem virrie 'rainbow nation' day-glow coz hatred sit diep tussen wit en swart moet jy ythou! Skepties no doubt, en fokkol lekker nie.. veral innie latest protest teen 'n fabricated common enemy. My generation sien die changes en wiet hoe laat issit. Masekind, skiet vi jou yt, die toekoms het klaar begin
