While many of these talents have failed to get the break, some have continued to flourish. One of those is Coster Fx Tshoganyetso, a young talent from Maun who has weathered the storm and remained relevant to date. Coster Fx is multi-talented as he is not just a comedian but also an artist, producer, script-writer and editor. He told Arts&Culture that he started comedy when COVID-19 first hit in 2020 during lockdowns. He explained that since there was little to do due to restricted movements, he was bored. Together with his friend Junior Diphoro, they started shooting videos with a mobile phone. Diphoro is the young man who appears in the skits with a branch in his mouth.
He explained that they decided to do comical videos to pass time. “We fused with humour and the strong Maun accent just for our entertainment and that was it. I later posted the video that day on my social media page and to our surprise, we got a positive response and noticed that our followers were increasing. That inspired us to create additional content. Since then, we have remained committed to consistently producing engaging and meaningful material using martial arts in a comedic way to create something different. My music primarily leans into the Hip-Hop, Bokhete style," he said. He further explained that he was drawn to the genre by the challenge and creativity in simplifying bokhete, blending it seamlessly with their homegrown accent and authentic sound. He also said a perfect example was his track ‘Insecurities,’ which he dropped on his birthday, April 4, 2025. He said the track resonated deeply, hitting half a million views in just three days. Speaking of what sets his skits and music apart was the fusion of humour with authentic life experiences, all expressed through the unique rhythm and tone.
