�Load up the choppers like it�s December 31st� :: Mmegi Online

New Year’s Eve is popular time to shoot off guns in the US neighbourhoods.

Ross “looking devilish”, clad in all black with gold chains was finally live on stage in Gaborone on what has been dubbed the most anticipated rap show in the history of hip-hop in Botswana. The fans were exhilarated.
