The show was the last of Splash's National Summer Tour, which started in February. Since the Lions Park festival late last month, the band took a break and only returned last Friday to perform first at Club 2016 in Molepolole and then Molapowabojang the next day. While incidents of violence and crime were reported in Molepolole where some criminals who wanted to gain free entry to the show pelted security guards with stones, the only hiccup in Molapowabojang was power failure.
The entry fee for this last show had been reduced from P50 to P40 due to the same problem of power cut and poor sound last year. Matshikos, who kicked off the gig, hardly played for five minutes before they were interrupted by a power cut. But the problem heightened when the all-girl trio of the Dalom Kids came on stage. They had hoped to give the fans a good taste of their best seller Izinduduma but it only came in bits and pieces. Ironically, the band had to take an hours break in darkness while the problem was being addressed. This seemed to affect even the back-up band, as the guys were not their usual energetic, fun-loving instrumentalists.
