Franco lines up own fill up the stadium festival :: Mmegi Online

Kwasa kwasa maestro Frank ‘Franco’ Lesokwane has achieved all sorts of successes. With 17 albums under his belt, Franco’s star continues to shine even brighter. 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

Whilst the idea to fill up the National Stadium is not knew as it was first done by local rapper Tshepiso ‘Kast’ Molapisi. But Kast had coined his campaign ‘Tlatsa Lebala’ a Setswana translation of South African rapper Cassper Nyovest’s successful idea of ‘Fill Up the Dome’.

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.
