Gomora star and musician Thembi Seete, who is part of Boom Shaka, opens up about their Metro FM Award.
BOOM SHAKA: LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
Thembi Seete tells Sowetan that Boom Shaka’s performance, which also includes group members Theo Nhlengethwa and Junior Sokhela, was reminiscent of some of their ’90s performances with the late Lebo Mathosa.
The awards, which were held in Mpumalanga saw the kwaito music group take centre-stage and performed some of their classic hits. The iconic music group received a Lifetime Achievement Award.
“Our performance was mainly to remind people about our childhood and how good we had it. The performance was also to remember the legacy of Lebo and all she contributed in the South African music industry. We couldn’t have been happier to remind people of the good old times over 30 years ago.”
Their reunion was in honour of the county’s 30-year democracy celebrated on Saturday. She also tells the publication that it’s important to never forget this day.
