C-RU: Curing a troubled nation through music

Lekula said some youth wind up taking their own lives prematurely because counselling seems to be lacking despite the challenges they face. 

“We are living in a wounded nation,” said Lekula, who is popularly known as C-RU in the hip-hop industry.  According to Lekula, there is need for youth in influential positions to advice others. Born at Jubilee Hospital in Francistown in 1984 into a middle-income family, Lekula is fast becoming a force to reckon with in the music scene thanks to his songs that relate to the reality in Botswana.
