This is not his first visit to Botswana where he sometimes comes just to relax and mingle with friends.He can be spotted mostly at Riverwalk when he is here on leisure, but he was last seen in Botswana attending to business at the Phakalane Golf Estate, where he performed. The talented musician is so excited about the upcoming show that he recently tweeted; 'I cannot wait to rock Botswana on the 28th March at Game City Terrance...IT'S ON'.(sic)

The organisers of the show, Absolute Entertainment say they believe Khuli Chana is the best Motswako artist for the time being.  They decided to bring him to Botswana again because he has many hits enjoyed and loved by people here.  'The guy has been winning awards non-stop and this just proves that he is actually good at what he does.  Besides, many Batswana love him and his music, and he loves us too,' said one of the organisers.

Khuli Chana is well-known for bringing a unique flavour to the Motswako genre.  He was awarded the Best Newcomer award at the 2009 Channel O Music Video Awards as well as Best Song of the Year for his track Tswakstikem at the Hype Music Awards.

Khuli Chana's sixth music video was for his hit single Tswa Daar for which he selected 60 extras from his Facebook fan page to be featured in.  This song was a hit and went on to make him the most voted for local artist at the 2012 Channel O Music Awards.He was nominated for Most Gifted Video of the Year, Most Gifted Hip Pop Video and Most Gifted Male Video, he recently won a Metro fm award for best collaboration of the year for the smash hit Tswa Daar featuring Notshi.
