Thapong Artist of the Year Awards tonight

According to Thapong director, Reginald Bakwena, the awards have shown growth in the number of competition participants.

“Last year we received 84 entries, but this year we got 97 entries and that shows growth as more artists are now showing interest in the awards,” he said.  He added that the artists have also developed in the area of presentation. Bakwena, however, said they are still concerned about the content from the artists.
