I do not expect the likes of Kitso (Selato), Tebogo (Tlhagadikgora) and so forth to give priority to recording albums instead of first focusing on their studies,” he said.

Master Dee said the show has also benefited even those who did not win the prize. He said by participation contestants got exposure hence some have been employed after featuring in the show.
