The celebrated musicians moved the fully packed crowd with their sensational and touching performances at the gospel charity concert held at Bible Life Ministries auditorium recently.
Renowned local gospel maestro, Mpho Nakedi, opened the show with his old song Ga O Kile Wa Nna Motho, Botlhoko Wa Bo Utlwa.
From the moment he set foot on stage one could tell it was going to be a remarkable performance as the crowd sang along.
Kholiwe did not disappoint the fans. She gave a spiritually moving act that got the crowd singing along with her and kept them asking for more.
The South African star showed that indeed music is a universal as locals sang along to Zulu and Setswana songs.
Her performance had many revellers down on their knees tearfully in praise and worship.
Kgotso put the cherry on top by reminding gospel followers why he is named among the most celebrated artists in South Africa.
He schooled the crowd with his renowned tune, Ke Tla Iphelela Ka Thapelo, and his electrifying dance moves. The crowd joined the gospel heavyweight in forming up a circle as they imitated the Zion apostle’s moves commonly known as ‘Tshukutshuku’.
The 27-year-old gospel crooner finished off his performance with a motivating verse encouraging people to walk by faith and later sang the one song that most were patiently waiting for, Messiah.
Other local artists who were given the opportunity to rub shoulders with the musicians from across the border were, gospel veteran Bafana Pheto commonly known as Phempheretlhe, Edward Basimane and Gabo Thotobolo, among others.
The emcee for the night was none other than the ever-energetic MC Maswe (Thapelo Maleka) who also did his part in entertaining the audience.
The Botswana Musicians Union (BOMU) secretary general Pagson Ntsie organised the event.
The concert followed after a donation to the Lephoi Centre for visually impaired students of 500 bags of cement by Chande Transport Tour & Enterprise owner from Lichtenburg, South Africa.
