    According to Commissioner John, the Melisizwe Bothers has impacted positively on the Royal St. Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force and St. Vincent and the Grenadines as a whole. Hethanked the brothers for their generous contribution of the musical instruments donated to the Royal St. Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force Band on June 8, 2020. He further stated that the instruments would play a pivotal role in the development of the Police Band at this moment and in the future. 

    Commissioner John informed that the instruments were donated at the right time because the Police band will be launching its 2020 Apprentice Programme on July 1, 2020; and the same instruments would be used to teach the participants involved. He further encouraged the brothers to stay focused.

    The Melisizwe Brothers, who witnessed the ceremony via Zoom Live, thanked Commissioner John and the Police Force for the efforts made to connect the presentation of the plaque live,which they opined meant a lot to them. They stated that the collaboration with RSVGPF enables the group to reach many youths throughout St. Vincent and the Grenadines. 

    Speaking on the “Gold-mind” initiative which they have created, the Brothers outlined that their main focus is to collect musical instruments to donate to young people and organisations all over the world that have an interest in developing youths through music.
