Addressing the media this week, Dikakapa lead singer Esaleone Hendrick said they found it fit to celebrate the former talented singer with an album dubbed ‘Tribute to Gong Master’.

The traditional song and dance legend Mponang ‘Gong Master’ Ketshabile co-founded the group in 2006 before he went solo. “We want Gong Master to know that we appreciate him wherever he is resting. We also want to erect a tombstone for Gong Master.

We will be launching it (album) at different villages across the country starting at Ranaka where our late star grew up. We started Dikakapa in 2006 with Gong Master where we released our first album dubbed ‘Selempu, re ya kae Batswana,” Hendrick said.
