Survivors then enjoy enormous airplay on local radio stations and pull crowds at their festivals. One such group that has stood the test of time is Ditshimega of the ko Mokwena song fame. Group leader and lead singer Arnold Sekgee takes pride in their success so far. "We are one of the best groups in the country. Our song Mokwena has played on radio stations more times than I can count. This has resulted in about 7,000 copies being sold, " said an elated Sekgee.
Sekgee attributes their success to having some of the best dancers-cum singers who 'undo' themselves every time they perform and on their best arranged and composed debut album, Ko Mokwena. He explains that the title track is dedicated to Kweneng people. This song appreciates some uncelebrated Kweneng villages, lands and settlements that have produced the best traditional dance (Phatisi) groups. Sekgee, who also learnt Phatisi dance from night vigil (Borankana) in some of these areas, is quick to note that Batswana, in general, are unfamiliar with places like Malwelwe, and Sojwe. The song is rich in Tswana figurative folk love lyrics and led by a strong baritone voice resembling an old man teaching the young. The averaged tempo speed of the song is coupled with a continuous hand clapping bass beat and rhythm regularly cut by double beat of other musical instruments. The song is suitable for Tlhako-paced dances of either Setapa or Phatisi.
