Next time we promise you a better and an improved product” exclaimed Mohlala. One of the patrons who enjoyed herself known as Diana couldn’t not hide her excitement of dancing to the tune of her favorite artists, ” I was for Thapelo, Given, Lucas, Ronnie and Sefako however I was impressed by the performance of Andile, Bonolo, Boitumelo, Tshepo Price in fact everyone who performed tonight gave their best I can’t wait for the next installment of this show again” quipped the overly excited Diana. This kind of shows should be supported through out Sekhukhune and beyond and should be used as the flagship event to promote tourism and local economic development, on the night of the event the hawkers defied the chilling night to come to the venue to sell food, drinks and snacks to the patrons and lodges and guest houses were booked for both artists and people who came far to support the event.
