MAD semis showcase local talent at its best

Local talent show, My African Dream (MAD) junior semi-finals simply showed local talent at its best form, on Friday night.

Twelve solo and group performers had their artistic offing before a cheerful audience housed in Maitisong Hall - a pivotal arena to the country's performing arts.  With dance dominating Friday's show, three dance performances by Junior Skycosite, Shanaya Kwape and Mogwana Development Team danced to the finals.  Sheba Kapambwe and Lemogang Montshiwa made it through song.  None of the poetry performances made it through to the finals- neither Sebaga Masedi nor Warona Thonisani liberated words to the finals held in October 29. Pego Mangope of Palapye put a wowing beatbox performance to a non-reactive audience.  Mangope artistically produced musical sounds using his mouth in a compelling form, with a Hip-hop touch.
