A lot of people enter into marriage without having gone through the proper processes of counseling, they go into it with material things in mind and the end result is a lot of failed marriages.

Shumba Ratshega to release new album end of April, Botswana Gazette, April 7 2016 While I am proud to have represented my country, I somehow feel as a nation we are not doing enough to promote our culture outside our borders through traditional music and dance. Others would be called by their name and their country. P Square was introduced as a group from Nigeria while for me it was only Botswana. When I enquired I was told that my country had not sent any name.sicians to represent the country Initially, people were only interested in big stars like Yvonne Chaka Chaka and P-Square but once I went on stage many got excited.
