Ko Seronga rouses a forgotten village

Sometime in April this year, Seronga had its moment of fame that came through a song. It began when young Seronga homeboys, while on a nostalgic trip, came together and crafted a song titled Ko Seronga that went viral before it was even released.

Ko Seronga is a song by Thato Kavinja, who trades as Koolkat. It immediately brought fresh expressions on airplay and made fans want to travel to Seronga. The song induced a great sense of pride as the remote village was on everyone’s lips following the song. In the 2011 population census, Seronga had a population of 3,716 making it the largest village in Okavango Eastern Panhandle and fourth-largest in Ngamiland West (Nokaneng to Gudikwa).
