APPOINTED: Modibe
The 10th Annual Botswana Musician Union (BOMU) Awards were officially launched last week at the Protea Hotel with union president, Phemelo ‘Fresh’ Lesokwane, firmly justifying the controversial appointment of Total Music Group, an infant company owned by Seabelo Modibe.
“He is a brand marketing specialist. There has been a lot of misinformation peddled and we will be irresponsible not to address this. We did not Modibe a tender. We appointed him through his company Total Music Group to consult and assist with the running of the awards,” The BOMU President explained.
For his part the man behind the awards, Modibe explained that only members of the union will be eligible to enter the awards. “If one is not a BOMU member they will have to pay P 500 to enter the awards.”
BOMU women wing formed for the cause

Voice Entertainment caught up with Hirschfield who gave an insight into why the need for the establishment of the women’s wing.
