BOMU P2million sponsorship divides artists

Btv recently popped out P1.5 million while MYSC contributed P500,000 for the awards and as a result, a group of concerned artists took to the streets of Gaborone to mount an illegal protest which was cut short by the Botswana Police Services (BPS).

During the protest before they were detained by BPS, the group of concerned artists led by Rhumba musician General Tuco called for the resignation of the Minister Tumiso Rakgare and for the BOMU awards stopped. The awards, scheduled for October 23, 2021 are organised by Seabelo Modibe’s Total Music Group.
