Deputy Minister of Arts and Culture, Joyce Mabudafasi officiated the send-off ceremony in Eersterust ahead of the jazz band's departure on Friday.
Mabudafasi says she recommended the Tshwane School of Music Jazz Band when asked to invite a youth group, because she thinks of them as family.
"As a mother, when an opportunity arises, you first think of your family. Then I thought of my kids. I speak so much about them everywhere," Mabudafasi said.
The Tshwane School of Music provides music education to a broad base of youth in previously disadvantaged communities.
The school also provides music therapy, facilitates exposure to and training in music technology and music business and provides a platform for music performances.
The jazz band is expected back in South Africa on 7 April.
Attendees were given a taste of what Kuwait can expect.
