This was evident when they performed at the annual Maletsunyane Braai Festival, which was held recently in Lesotho. The popular festival was held at a place called Semonkong from November 29 to December 1. Performing before a huge crowd, which had revellers from across the world, Culture Spears put out a solid and magnificent show that left revellers begging for more. The group, which has been flying the country’s flag high since 2005, demonstrated that they are still a force to reckon with. The crowd went wild when the MC called the group’s name to get up on stage. There was a sudden euphoric atmosphere, as the crowd screamed Culture Spears’ name and started singing the hit song, Kulenyana before the group could even get up on stage. Following that, a group of Batswana contingent who travelled miles from Botswana rushed to the front with national flags flying high also singing. When they finally took to the stage, the audience was already in high spirits and sang along to the group’s songs.
This includes even those songs one thought they did not know such as Borikiriki, which really showed how powerful and relevant the group is in the Kingdom country. In a chilled atmosphere for an outing, dressed in Botswana colours of blue, black and white and lead singer, Kabelo Mogwe, rocking a t-shirt of the new current governing party, the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC), Culture Spears appeared on stage ready to rock. It was clear that the jubilant revellers had been waiting for a performance from the group, which they really loved as they danced the night out. They started with the Kulenyana hit which seemed to be the favourite, and performed other hits such as Nchadinyana, Khudu and Kueletsana, to name but just a few. Lesotho seemed like a home away from home for Culture Spears as they were showered with love while on stage.
