After a four-year wait, Nnunu Ramogotsi premiered the video to her title track, Mmasonoko at the Masa cinema on Wednesday. Nnunu, who went solo in 2012 after being a back up artist for close to a decade, broke out with her maiden album Mmasonoko.

The album became an instant jazz hit subsequently receiving accolades for the best female artist and best album of the year at the Botswana Musician Union (BOMU) Awards that year. She finally launched the video of the song. In the video, she portrays a young couple who are trying to get married, but the families failing to agree on the bride price.

The traditional set up gives the video the look and feel of a traditional Botswana wedding. At the launch, Nnunu who came dressed like a true African gem, explained the four-year wait for her hit single’s video. She explained that after dropping and promoting the single that year she had thought she would shoot the the following year.
