The duo will, however, not be hosting the podcast this time around, but come as headliners for The Day Club event hosted by the Architects of Groove at Riverside Deck in Francistown.
They have been booked as acts at the event that has been scheduled for the long weekend. In an interview with Arts & Culture, Tumelo Molefe who is the co-founder of Architects of Groove, said after hosting a successful event last year with the duo in Gaborone, they now want to take it to other parts of the country. “This is not the first time Mac G and Sol come this side as we hosted them last year in Gaborone and now it only made sense to us to take them to Francistown, so that the people of Ghetto also get to see them,” he said.
Mac G and Sol will not be the only acts at The Day Club event. There will be other acts on the day, which are mostly upcoming artists from Francistown. “We have deejays based in Ghetto in the likes of DJ Cheng, DJ Cue and many others,” he said. Molefe said they have also included acts from Gaborone. “We also have artists like Frostbite and TeddyIsNotA DJ just to name but a few,” he added.
Meanwhile Molefe stated that preparations for the event have really been challenging to them. “Preparations are always tough when we host an event especially when it is outside Gaborone.
The logistics are costly but we have to deliver a great event every time. We owe it to our patrons,” Molefe expressed. He said ticket sales have been doing well. “Tickets are moving really well better than expected and they can still purchase them at Liquoramas found at the malls in Francistown,” he said.
Molefe promised the revellers the best time of their lives and revealed they would be given a welcome drink. On top of the welcome drink, Molefe said they will provide them with a place where they could sit comfortably and be served throughout the event.

The Bogosi Act, which clearly states that a Mothusa Kgosi cannot be removed without the minister’s involvement, serves as a crucial legal safeguard. This law is designed to prevent arbitrary decisions and ensure stability within traditional leadership structures.The tension between Khama and Serogola has been simmering...
