Popular tradition music group Matsieng and their former lead singer Ditiro Leero have denied their new found re-union is already experiencing problems.

Leero left the group three years back under a cloud of controversy just before the release of their hit album Tinto under Eric Ramco Records.  At the time there were reports that Leero decided to quit after he was denied a chance to lead the track Tinto while the musicians remained tight-lipped on the issue.
