The events are scheduled for November 18 and 19 in Gaborone and Francistown respectively.One of the event organisers, Gilbert “PP” Seagile said that they chose dancehall genre, because it is rarely done in Botswana.

“The market needs something different.  He has the biggest song in the country at the moment. It was only inevitable that we bring him here,” Seagile said. Seagile also revealed that local DJ sensation, Latimmy is also busy in the studio working on collaboration with the Zimbabwean national. “The line-up is really exciting. We wanted to fuse all southern African countries under one roof, for this tour. After Botswana they will be heading to other countries for a similar like show. We have performers from Namibia, Zambia and South Africa,” he said.

Winky D will bring his five man live band for both events and host an inspiration meet and greet with Old Naledi residents. “He comes from very humble beginnings, the type of set up found in Old Naledi. He is the one who suggested to meet the Old Naledi residents to share with them his life story,” Seagile said.

The concert will be an annual event. Tickets will be on sale for P200 early bird and P350 for the VIP.
