Botswana's Olympic hero, Nigel Amos has joined the music industry. The 800 metre star has formed a three-man dance group called the Black Brothers, which recently performed with young motswako sensation, ATI in Serowe.

Besides the athlete, the other members of Black Brothers are Boitshepo Wilson and Boemo Bakang.  They all hail from Amos' home village of Marobela.  The group was formed in 2012 and has released an album called Summer Time featuring songs like Destiny and Joclenah.  Amos is one of Botswana's youngest millionaires.  He gave the country its first medal in the Olympics when he finished second in a London race last year in his specialty.

After the Serowe show, he told Showbiz that he only performs and records songs during breaks in the athletics season.
