The winner of the national championship, Kabelo DJ King Motlhankana is part of the Serowe Battle of the DJs organising team.
Gaepongwe said it is encouraging the government has started recognising DJs since a slot was created for them during the annual President Day competitions."DJs should start to take themselves seriously and know that they can easily earn a living out that. We are only going to engage serious DJs in our competition so we are going to make sure that we screen all potential entrants before the grand finale," he said.
