Tito, popularly known by his stage name Kunkuru, is a young poet. The event was graced by Kgosi Tshomi Seboni from Kumakwane who talked about how the occasion was special.

He was delighted to find that the Setswana Cultural event can still pull such a number of people in attendance and he wished that the trend can still go on and never lose its stature along the way. Seboni also recognised Kunkuru's work adding that the young poet was talented at what he does. He said it warms his heart to see that Setswana culture still prevails in the current generation and hopes that it shall continue. Kunkuru is just a young boy following in the footsteps of his parents who just like him are also renowned poetry artists, so being a poetry artist runs in the Tito family.

He already has a collection of many poems that are playing on local radio stations, particularly his poem about COVID-19. The young boy gave thanks to the audience after his performances for turning up at his event in such high numbers and also thanked them for the continued support that he is always receives from Botswana at large.
