In their different colours, choirs thrilled the audience with healing voices and regalia, summing it up with chants and heavy claps could be heard on the day. Soul Redeemers Gospel Choir chairman, Thabang Gouwe. said the aim of the health awareness festival, was to send a message that being healthy is key to life.

In attendance was Minister of Youth, Gender, Sport and Culture, Tumiso Rakgare, Ministry of Health senior officials accompanied by Gaborone DHMT, Pelonomi Foundation, Vee Mampezy who also sponsored the walk with Maveeta.
Clap n' Tap remains one of the fast indigenous emerging styles of singing, which allows for creativity. The swinging of dresses as women dance and the re-arrangement in music draws spectators’ eyes. The synchronised patterns in dance and in clapping only mesmerised the audience.
The weekend was made historical and memorable by giants of the genre, Lejwe la Motho from South Africa, Soul Redeemers, Bana Ba Lesedi Choir and Angel of God from St John Apostolic. Guowe told this publication that this event will not have been possible without organisations like Dyslexia and Social Support, National Blood Transfusion, Nicky's Fitness Revolution and Pelonomi Foundation.
