They were doing something else somewhere when their music albums, hit songs and videos were announced as  some of the winners at the BOMU music awards at the Gaborone International Convention Centre (GICC) on Saturday night.

Banjo Mosele  should have been the toast of the night. What with his song, Ntsa E Jele Ntsanyana, voted by Mascom subscribers as the hit of the season!
