Artist wants his portrait on Botswana coin

The artist, who has been in the industry close to a decade, sings Dikhwaere and his 2007 Thobane album took the nation by storm, as it became a household song.

The muso has released a new album, titled Ke Tshwana Le Moshe, in which he claims to have contributed immensely to the arts in Botswana through his music. He says that he popularised Dikhwaere, a form of music, which is popular during ceremonies, especially at Christmas among rural folk. Dr Vom adds that he took the music, which had been undocumented before and put it on compact disc and cassettes for wider circulation and appreciation by Batswana and other music lovers across the borders.In track two, Ke Tshwana Le Moshe, he implores the government to put his portrait on the currency to recognise his contribution.
