Ko Setlhareng's Shade Faces Gloom

The tale seems as old as time, but Ko Setlhareng.com as the place is popularly known used to be a shining example of how physical records remain the top choice for music purists over digital streaming.

Placed exactly along the mall’s pedestrian only walkway, Ko Setlhareng has seen it all from the time when cassettes hit their sales peak to an era when the latter was phased out by CDs. Although Ko Setlhareng.Com didn’t exist during the popularity of vinyl records, the place is a reminder for some people who are still nostalgic about  the good old days when music lovers winded tapes by hand with a pen and turned it over at the end of each side. It is a reminder of the era of the Omega radio powered by either the black/white PM10 battery or  red/white Eveready batteries. Ko Setlhareng.Com takes one to the period of the Sony Walkman, when selling cassette tapes was a real money-making business in the music industry. The time when one’s Motokara (Motor car) came equipped with a tape deck and always had a cassette loaded.
