YOUNG people from Wolf informal settlement in Vosloorus fight poverty through pantsula dance.
On weekends, members of Germany Masters perform on the busy streets of Katlehong, Thokoza, Villa Lisa and Spruitview in Ekurhuleni.
Group leader Mosa Rabapane (20) said he started Germany Masters to help the youth whose parents are unemployed.
He said some of their members used to go to bed on empty stomachs because their parents struggled to provide for them.
"We perform to entertain motorists in a bid to get help.
"We have bought school shoes for one of our members since we started performing on the streets last month," Mosa said.
He said they use the money they get from motorists to buy school uniforms for their members.
“We also share part of money to give to our parents to buy food at home,” he said.
Mosa said the group keeps the youth away from the streets.

“I saw the need to help these youth because most of them were roaming in streets doing nothing," he said.
The matric people is appealing to Good Samaritans to help them with food parcels and school uniforms for his group members.
“We don’t want our current situations to discourage us from finishing school.
“All of us have dreams of changing the situation at our homes, and we want to further our studies at universities or colleges,” Mosa said.
One of the group members, Siyabonga Yende (17), said he believes they will achieve great things.
“The first time I brought food for my parents from the money I got from one of our performances was so fulfilling.
“They were happy, and I realised that my contribution was well received by my family,” Yende said.
