The group's promoter and spokesperson Moagi 'Jumbo' Lekoni has conceded that Gong Master left a void but they are doing all they can to revive their fortunes.
He said they have roped in another talented member to replace Gong Master who departed under controversial circumstances last year to go solo. He has since re-introduced himself through an album called Dumelang. Though he did not perform at Dikakapa DVD launch at Chez-Ntemba Night Club over the weekend, the towering artiste graced the event that attracted a satisfactory crowd. Jumbo said that after Gong Master left there was a nosedive in sales of their music. The Dikakapa promoter regrets the shakeup in the group but promises music fans that they are still going strong. "We are all talented dancers and singers. So I see no obstacle in taking traditional music to greater heights," Jumbo said. The group has since shelved all shows to focus on their second album, Bomalome to be released on DVD. The move is meant to take the group to the people and make them know the members. Jumbo added that the DVD would help in marketing the group better.
