The event which pulled  a sizable crowd was held at Fairgrounds Holdings at Ditshupo hall. As soon as the group took to the stage, revellers gathered in front as they wanted to see them up close. Smartphones', iPads' could be seen in the air as everybody wanted to capture the moment . The trio kick-started their set with a song called 'Joy' which talks about the joy they have with their creator (God), followed by their well known songs inclusive of 'Sedi Laka', 'Inkomo', 'Sunday' and 'Lakutshoni. One of the members of the group, Phindo also known as 'Master P', told ShowTime that the love and support they received from the crowd was more than they had expected as many people sang along with them.

'This surprised me a lot but at the same time made me feel proud as it shows that our family which are our fans really appreciate and love our music,' he said. The excited musician added that if an offer avails itself  to perform in Botswana again, they are not going to hesitate but take it with both hands as they really enjoyed themselves.As if the support and cheering of the fans was not enough, they further displayed their appreciation and love by accomodating those who wanted to have pictures taken with them.The group revealed that they are currently working on their DVD which will be released in July. The Soil has grazed many big stages such as Standard Bank Joy of Jazz, Grahamstown Arts Festival, Jazz By The River as well as theatre stages of the Nelson Mandela and Catalyst Theatre in Cape Town and recently the Apollo theatre in New Work.

Before the trio took to the stage, Map Alumni Band played electrifying marimba melodies which were well received by the revellers, this performance was later followed by yet another brilliant show by a local star known as Samantha Mogwe. Mogwe indeed proved that dynamite comes in small packages when she sang her lungs out, her rich well toned voice surprised many who were seeing her for the first time but what really touched many was when she cried when she was performing her emotional song titled 'Remember me'.The host of the evening was Bobo Letsatsi known as 'Rib cracker' and Karabo 'Lehenza' of Mokaragana fame.
