While the popularity of the Kwasa kwasa genre has waned over the years in the country, his popularity keeps rising. Now after seemingly dodging appeals from members of the public in the recent past to take up a bigger contest, Franco has accepted the challenge to fill up the National Stadium. He talks to writer GOITSEMODIMO KAELO about his intentions

Kast’s first festival at the National Stadium was successful. However, his second attempt was a disaster, with only few people attending the show at Oodi. This made Kast to think twice about hosting another one in 2019.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
