Night crawlers thronged the self proclaimed 'Africa's most exclusive venue,' Fashion Lounge on Friday to witness South African house artist, Zakes Bantwini's first ever performance in Botswana.

Although it was his first time in town, the man responsible for hit tracks such as 'Clap your hands'  seemed to have captured the hearts of Batswana as his show attracted over 1000 people. Fashion Lounge however proved to be too small a venue to host such a big event as fans had to quee for hours on end to witness the live performance of their favourite man of the moment.  The long queue was not made any bearable by security who appeared to have been told to use maximum force on them. However, the fans braved all to enjoy the show.  As usual the club was filled with some of the trendiest people the country has. Most men dressed in a combination of casual and formal whilst the women dressed in funky minis and pants.

Unsurprisingly the main music for the night was house which was dished by among others, show host, Dj Easy B,  Dj Oscar B and Dj Kops. Dj Kellz made the list of the few Dj's who played hip hop and RnB to the amusement of the fully packed club.  Bantwini's most anticipated performance came 30 minutes after midnight causing an even bigger stir in the club.  He introduced himself to the crowd and explained how happy he was to be in Botswana for the first time. He thanked all his fans for coming out and also thanked youthful radio station, Yarona fm and Monate Fela  Promotions for having given him the opportunity to entertain Batswana.  Bantwini opened his performance with 'Butterfly' and ended his eight song set with hit single 'Bum Bum.'
