BOMU chief Moruakgomo blasts his accusers

The newly-elected chairperson of the Botswana Musicians Union (BOMU), Socca Moruakgomo raised eyebrows for using a South African backing band during the Afro Jazz Festival held at the Fairgrounds on Saturday.

 Besides the foreign backing band, Moruakgomo also featured South African vocalist, Coyote and Nigerian based South African guitarist, Kunle in his act.  Other than himself, the only locals in Moruakgomo's band on Saturday were backing dancers/singers Nnunu Ramogotsi and Lesedi Mooketsi.

Some musicians charged that Moruakgomo does not want  to work with locals as he prefers South Africans.  One musician said it was disappointing that despite being a BOMU official, Moruakgomo does not lead by example.
