Frank Lesokwane, popularly known as Franco released a new hit song recently titled “Motho yo ke Ofe”, which is making waves across the nation. The legendary rhumba kwasakwasa artist said he was inspired to release the song following extreme backlash from fans for staying hidden for too long. “People had started circulating rumors that I was down and out since it has been a while since I released new music, as if they are unaware of the effects of Covid-19 on our industry,”he said.
He further explained that he hoped to send a message reminding society and fans alike, that he is still there and producing music amid the pandemic. While Franco acknowledges and appreciates the immense support and appreciation of his new released song, he is disheartened by the rate at which it is being pirated. “You will realize that society nowadays doesn’t buy our music like before, rather they share it on social media platforms like WhatsApp and this is affecting sales,”
