It was a night of poems on love and politics at Mantlwaneng Theatre on Saturday when Sauti Arts hosted a poetry night under their “The people are talking” series.

iDle started the love spread with his cheeky, but beautiful Setswana piece titled ‘Nkine’. In the poem, iDle begs his ‘moroba’ to deep him in love. He says, “Nkine leratong, ke utwe bothitho ja selo”.

Kefilwe ‘Princess’ Mathake singing together with a pianist, took the audience in a journey of her three loves. The first love was to her “heavenly father” titled, ‘Masterpiece’. The second, titled ‘We’re Family’, was a dedication to her father who she says taught her everything she knows. She ended with ‘I love You’, which is a passionate love declaration for her husband.
