We are honored to introduce our first recipient of the Josh Fund - Wits University Music Scholarship. Sibonelwesihle Kodisang, known as Sibonelo, is a talented jazz saxophonist. Next year will be his third year at Wits pursuing his Bachelor in Music. Sibonelo embodies the passion and dedication to music that Josh carried with him throughout his life. Josh began his music career as a kid playing the Saxophone, Sibonelo will bring Josh’s spirit with him as our first recipient in 2022

Channeling Josh’s passion for multicultural music, especially sounds from South Africa, we will be launching a scholarship program for third-year students who would otherwise not have the opportunity to continue their studies. Wits is the alma mater of Josh’s father Stephen, who credits his professional journey to his university. Josh himself traveled several times to South Africa, the country where his father was born and raised, where he collaborated with South African artists and was deeply honored to host six students at his Bar Mitzvah in Seattle, Washington.The Scholarship program will begin in Winter 2022.
