Ex-Btv newsreader aims to jack up local music

Speaking to Showbiz on Monday, Phuthego said he was working on arranging monthly live performances by various artists. Already preparations are at an advanced stage for the inaugural show, dubbed 'Benson in Concert Live Band Performance' on September 28 at Maitisong in Maruapula, Gaborone.

Phuthego, a former Botswana Television (Btv) newsreader, says that the shows will be action-packed with a medley of poetry, music and dance fused with chorale and a host of other genres. He said that the inaugural show is themed around Boipuso (Independence Day), to celebrate Botswana's success story for the past 46 years since it gained independence from Britain on September 30, 1966.
