One such group is the newly formed gospel ensemble, Bajaki Gospel Group, whose members hope to make a difference, by helping disadvantaged members of society. As demonstrated in songs from their newly released album Re A O Leboga, the group praises the Lord and at the same time shows concern for the needy.
Formed in 2005, the group from Oodi comprises eight singers, all of them members of the Zion Christian Church (ZCC). While the group is bent on doing all they can to help the poor, all its members are unemployed, which is one of the major reasons it was formed. Group members - Setshege Masisi, Akanyang Rampiping, Bogosi Koboyankwe, Daisy Sekgele, Lenna Makgwenye, Karabo Masisi, Diphetogo Koboyankwe, and Keatlaretse Koboyankwe - have no illusions and admit that Botswana, despite its international ratings, is still a poor country, hence their determination to use music as a tool in the fight against poverty. In their album they have a song titled Rea O Leboga. While not politically inclined, this song thanks God for blessing the nation with citizens, such as businessman Robert Masitara, who have made quite a mark in helping needy families.
