Six Make It To MAD's Teen Finals

The local talent search show, My African Dream (MAD) selected the top six finalists in the teen category at Maitisong in Maruapula on Friday night. A total of 11 groups and solo performers had made it to this year's teen semi-finals where they displayed their best talent in front of the eagle-eyed adjudicators.

Dance dominated this year's semi final performances, as there were eight dance performances against two singing and a solo instrumental performance. The six talented hopefuls, who impressed the judges for a slot in the finals were Wada Mapiki, X-Flex, a Gaborone-based Hip-hop dance group, break-dancer Oabile Ramsay, a dance group Jika Jive, Ba Kgafela, a traditional dance troupe; and a solo singer, Kago Goveya.

All the semi-finalists gave some splendid performances, leaving the audience wondering as to who would sail through to the finals and make it harder for the judges to decide the finalists. First on the stage was Goveya, singing Fly Away by Westlife.
