Tebbie encourages Batswana to donate blood through song

 Revered gospel singer Tebbie, dubbed the queen of gospel, has released a single titled Donate blood. In a brief interview, she said that the song was composed specifically to join the chorus of activism around the importance of donating blood. She said that the blood situation was dire and she saw it fit to reach out to more people through song. “We know that the blood levels are low but we need more.

We need about 40, 000 units of blood but we only receive about 22, 000 for now. Through this song, I urge everyone to take the noble step of donating blood in order to save another person’s life,” she says. The song has a catchy tune and upbeat gospel tempo. The lyrics urge Batswana to do something about the blood shortage in the country. Her unique edgy voice also stands out and complements the composition. The Ministry of Health and Wellness in conjunction with the National Blood Transfusion Service centre has launched a nationwide appeal for individuals to donate blood, under the slogan, ‘share blood, share life.’
