Jonny Mokhali to perform in Tati-Siding

Legendary musician Johnny Mokhali will bring down the curtain of his tour in style at Tagala lodge in Tati-siding village on the 27th of November 2016 following perfomances in Gantsi and Letlhakane.

Mokhali,, who hails from South Africa, but boasts a huge fan base in Botswana, has toured the width and breadth of country in the past years under various music promoters. His music has been dearly embraced in the country thanks to his use of Sesotho language which is well understood by a majority of Batswana.

This time around the musician has been booked by Francistown based music promoter and artist Sally Molosiwa of Sallyvich Investment. When speaking to VIBE, Molosiwa who left his teaching career to focus on music expressed excitement over the tour, saying that it was a dream come true to have booked a legend of Mokhali’ calibre. Molosiwa pointed out that Mokhali’ popularity cuts across age, but he is more popular among the older generation who grew up listening to his music.

Molosiwa said the band Sally and the Cat family would back-up Mokhali. “As we speak all the logistics of the show have been finalised and we are going to kick start our tour in Gantsi on the 25th of November 2016 followed by Letlhakane on the 26th and finally Tati-siding at Tagala lodge on a Sunday afternoon till late. We would have loved to bring the artist to Francistown but failed since the venue we had earmarked was too expensive.

Once a venue is too expensive, the gate or entrance fee also balloons and we settled for Tagala since it is relatively cheap which has resulted in the gate entrance standing at P50.” Molosiwa said they anticipate that many residents of Francistown would throng the show as Tati-siding is quite close to the city.

The music promoter pointed out this tour of three venues marks the preparation of a bigger and better tour billed for the Christmas festivities that will go on until 2017.  Molosiwa added that his band would continue to invite other prominent old school Southern African artists as one way of borrowing a leaf from their impressive musical careers.
