Kefilwe ‘Princess’ Mathake singing together with a pianist, took the audience in a journey of her three loves. The first love was to her “heavenly father” titled, ‘Masterpiece’. The second, titled ‘We’re Family’, was a dedication to her father who she says taught her everything she knows. She ended with ‘I love You’, which is a passionate love declaration for her husband.
