Durban- The MEC for Department of Culture, Arts and Traditional Affairs, Mme Tebogo Modise expressed her heartfelt gratitude to the good work done by a hip hop star, Cassper on a glittering Metro FM Awards, during the weekend.
The MEC said “Cassper is one of the icons from Bokone Bophirima, who continued to spread the message that Mahikeng has got talent”. She proudly rated Bokone Bophirima as one of the hottest Provinces in the country, when it comes to Arts.
“Art is one of the pillars of youth development in the Province and needs to be taken serious by all” pronounced the Mec.
MEC Modise called upon the upcoming artists from the province to admire what Cassper has done, and to consider taking music as one of the careers as music is one of the best career in today’s life.
As Cassper always says, “God is good all the time and all the time God is good”, the MEC further said “Artists from the province should always put God first and should bask in his love, soak in it and let it saturate their soul-their thinking and their emotions”. This according to the MEC will take more artists from the province to places, because with God nothing is impossible on earth.
