Musicians profit selling own CDs, DVDs on streets

Malls in places like Francistown, Gaborone's Station Mall and The Main Mall are brimming with their CDs, cassettes, DVDs and t-shirts.

Explaining how they came to change to this mode of selling their products, pioneer Eric Ramogobye, who also runs the popularly known Ko-Setlhareng.com, a stall in the Main Mall, says that he had realised that shop owners were reluctant to sell local music as they would only select a few known names and sell them.Ramco, who is also a studio owner, says that they are in a better position to sell their merchandise, as they understand it better than the retailers.
