When popular cultural music icon Mponang ’Gong Master’ Ketshabile left Dikakapa, his fans were left wondering if the group he co-founded would survive without him.

Gong Master had quickly endeared himself as the group’s pivot. His roar would get fans sharply focused on him during the group’s riveting performances.

Shortly after the news broke out that the lanky singer was leaving Dikakapa, he resurfaced with mellow solo album trading as Tau ya Koma. While music lovers were still stunned by his artistic brilliance as a solo performer,  Dikakapa released an album titled Bomalome. The album received a lukewarm response. This instigated fears that Gong Master’s departure would derail the group were allayed when Bomalome received a Kora nomination in 2010, which was ultimately won by Nigerian superstars P-Square.
