Gospel queens lock horns

Music lovers came to witness a battle of gospel heavyweights between Tebogo Sethomo (Tebbie) and Kebabonye Phiri (Keba). Gospel sensation, Sethomo was backed by Dr Vom while Phiri performed with either Tipidex or a new cultural troupe called Bomadala. Sethomo staged her show in front of Furnmart Furnishers while Phiri was at the nearby Lewis Furnishers. The proximity made life difficult for gospel music lovers who faced a dilemma over which show to attend.

Phiri has already released three albums and she played a couple of songs from her latest offering. From the reaction, it was clear the album was well appreciated. Recently, Phiri cast doubts on Sethomo's talent on the local music entertainment show, Mokaragana. She said she was not certain if Sethomo's songs were sung by her or somebody else. Sethomo has two albums under her belt, Khubama being the latest. Word has it that the two women are the fiercest of rivals.
