STEELPOORT – The 22-year-old Potego Mokgwadi is gradually taking the gospel fraternity by storm. Born and bred in Tukakgomo, he and his soulful music have become the talk of the town.
Mokgwadi said he was bitten by the music bug five years ago while he was still busy with his studies at Kgahlanong Secondary School. “I sang in the school choir and that’s were I realised my talent. I aimed at healing souls with my music and also changing the lives of the youth.”
He recently released his debut album titled Mahlomola Pelo, of which the tracks have been played on various radio stations in the province, including the local Tubatse FM.
“I was surprised with how the album performed. During its first week it already sold 300 copies,” he said.
