The dynamic duo's collaboration was sparked organically, as Zikhali recalled: "I met Teffy T through a mutual friend a couple of years ago.

"I had a beat from KS (Botswana) my producer, and this beat was banging, sounding like a live band. Kwana Le Kwana just landed as a concept, and we pushed with it." Their artistic synergy becomes evident in the rhythmic cadence of the song, blending Zikhali's extensive acting background with Teffy T's Motswako prowess.
Teffy T emphasised the cultural essence of their creation, stating: "This song culturises my music before it globalises.

That's the impact we want—growth for the youth and the upcoming." In an era where singles dominate, the duo seeks to transcend musical boundaries, planning to merge their music and acting talents in theatres. Teffy T, anticipating his visit to Gaborone in March, expressed his eagerness to explore collaborations in different genres. He envisions this collaboration as a cultural ambassador, taking Botswana's rich heritage to a global audience.
