With talent galore, top-notch local production company Showgroup used their impressive modern technology to mount one of the most colourful events in recent years.Besides two giant screens beaming the stage performances to the audience across the Gaborone International Convention Centre (GICC) hall, there was also this gigantic screen with an African theme, capturing the African dream concept with beauty.The organisers also invited guest performers of interesting age range; teenage rapper, Cybil Nite, the winner of this year's Channel O Emcee Africa II, appeared on stage with his energetic rap lines, while Shanti Lo, in his middle-age, also won many hearts with his brilliant display.
MNet's SA Idols judge and performer, Mara Louw, was the symbol of that ultimate dream and she kept everyone on their toes with her heart-stopping delivery.Louw entered the stage with the theme song for the popular movie, the Lion King, which she rendered with precision. She would later perform the same song in a South African language. In fact, she is also popular for translating the music of The Lion King into Zulu for Disney Corporation.Then she took her audience down memory lane with the performance of the late Miriam Makeba's greatest hits, including Phatha-phatha. One of the beautiful songs that Louw performed on the evening was Elton John and George Michael's Don't Let the Sun Go Down on me.
