‘The Picnic Session’, which returns for its second stint, will be held at the Wagga Gardens tomorrow (Saturday). The ‘Stimela’ hit maker continues to incessantly establish himself as the busiest international artist this year in Botswana enjoying multiple bookings in the country. In an interview with MICAF's marketing and brand manager, Palo Mosomodi, he stated that Ntate Stunna’s work speaks for himself as the fanatics seem to be besotted with him and his work. He added that most people work with him because not for any moment has he let his fans in Botswana down by not honouring his bookings. “Ntate Stunna is a great talent and knows what he is doing.

He said the line-up comprises some of Botswana’s celebrated deejays and artists like, DJ Ngwazi, ATI, Han C, Ezra Neethings and Dr Vom while the hosts are Hey Nyenaa, Kagiso de Klerk and Miss Gee Kays.

Mosomodi stated that MICAF's objectives include among others raising capital to alleviate the creative industry.
