Who won the #Best Load shedding and #Best water Rationing awards?
All our music now has hidden computerised gimmicks. lets have innovation like was the case with Paul Ngozi, Spokes Chola, etc
Am wondering why JK and Errol Hicky were found in the same category. you need to consider revising that.
Errol is the Hero who helped a lot of these stars of today with his radio station. in future please look at that critically.
