Musician Motswakgakala ‘Motswafere’ Sithole has clinched a Coke Studio South Africa gig that will see him perform at the music reality show at end of the month.

Coke Studio South Africa is a television programme whereby top musicians and producers of different music genres collaborate with upcoming artists.  The collaborations will see them put together songs, which will be sold through iTunes.  The music show has been graced by the likes of Oliver Mtukudzi, Mi Casa, The Muffinz, Mahotella Queens and Tumi of Tumi and the Volume.  The show airs on Etv every Monday at 8:30 pm.

“It’s actually funny how I ended up at Coke Studio.  My friend distributed rough demos that I had produced, which landed in the hands of Dave Thompson, a former Idols SA judge,” said Motswafere. Thompson then flew the musician to Johannesburg where he auditioned him.  After liking Motswafere’s sound he sold the idea to Coke Studio. “In my Coke Studio project I am doing a solo performance with a great band behind me unlike other upcoming musicians that had to collaborate with established musicians,” he said. He stated that the producers of the show decided to have him stage a solo because his song had so much weight and strength.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
