The event was held at the Gaborone International Convention Centre (GICC) at the Grand Palm Resort in Gaborone. The first act on the day was Dato Seiko, who performed as if she had a point to prove.

Known for his song Emisa Corona, the talented performer did not disappoint as he also serenaded the audiences.
