Khettis� dream come true

To stay on track, he continued entering school dance competitions and did well. The success helped to sustain his dream and today the 27-year-old, who has adopted the stage name Khettis, has released his first project called Dimakatso.
“I have dreamt of this moment since I was a child and I am happy that it finally happened. I will now have my own songs to dance to,” the jubilant Khettis told Showbiz.
The house-kwasa musician’s dream could have possibly died, but his encounter with another blind musician and meticulous dancer, Pastrica Kgole, effectively revived it.
“For a long time I wanted to record an album, but I had no resources to do so. But my dream was revived when I met Pastrica in 2010. I had a brief stay at Podulogong Rehabilitation Centre in Mochudi. We discussed it and he agreed to record at his studio. I also have to thank Rre Seabelo Tlhaselo of Seabelo Express who sponsored me,” he said.
Despite being completely visually impaired, Langa said he is never scared of tripping over himself with some complicated dance moves.
“I am a fast learner. When I get on stage, I go around familiarising myself with it quickly and I never even think of missing a step or anything,” he explained.
Currently pursuing a degree in International Business at Limkokwing University in Gaborone, Langa says while he hopes to land a regular job after completing finishing up, he will still continue with his music.
“I am passionate about music and dance that nothing will pull me away from them. Music feeds my soul,” he said.
