EMPD choir a power house in choral music
Through the years the EMPD Choir has developed into a formidable group that is now counted among choirs of long-standing stature such as JMPD and Soweto Choral Choir.
The choir has grown to 50 members.
The purpose of the choir is to play a role during Community Safety memorial and funeral services; to close the gap between the law enforcement fraternity and the communities they serve; to educate the community about the police environment; to engage in community activities and programmes; to promote Batho Pele Principles and to ensure the well-being of employees through music.
Orphanages and homes such as Tembisa Orphanage, Mohau Orphanage and Disabled Persons in Vosloorus and Tholakele Orphanage Home in Kwa-Thema are some of the homes that have benefited greatly from the choirs efforts in raising funds by organising concerts and soliciting assistance from businesses and churches.
Items donated included electrical appliances, blankets, clothing and groceries among others.
Choral festivals are held annually with the aim of reducing the plight of these homes.
