The stars are set to host a benefit concert on Saturday at Gabane's famous pub Mountain Valley and Steak Bar, where they promise to give the audience a performance of a lifetime.

'A star-studded benefit show is being put together to raise funds for me after I tragically fell victim to a domestic fire, that robbed me of virtually all my belongings,' Jackson said in an interview with Showbiz.  He explained that although the fire gutted most of his personal belongings, most of the priceless musical equipments he collected over the years escaped by a whisker and no human injuries were incurred.

To give support to this legend, the stars has pledged support for the veteran musician and amongst them is his son who is also a musician Eugene known better through his song with Helen Moqholisi and Dali Wame. Other artists billed to perform are Bonnie of Mmapula fame, Nono, Hellen, Juju Boy, BK Proctor, DT, T.H.A.B.O among others.

The show will begin at 4pm and the tickets will be sold at the entrance, and will cost P30, while P50 tickets will be sold for those who want to access the state of art cocktail bar, situated on the top floor of the equally ostentatious double-storey building. Throngs of people are expected to attend the show, and demonstrate support for musicians who are assisting  a man who has immensely contributed to the music industry.  This personalises the 2016 vision of being a supporting, compassionate, just and caring nation.
