"We will choose from those who have contacted us for help. For now, we will focus on families in and around Gaborone because of logistical challenges, but in future we will extend our reach across the country."

"The only challenge is that we used our own money. We spent close to half a million just to put everything together, which was tough, but I believe next time we will have more sponsors on board."

"We have managed to gather a lot of food, enough to support about 40 families,."

"This is going to be an annual event. If possible, we would like to have two editions a year. It breaks my heart to see people suffering. I know I cannot help everyone, but I do what I can and I want others to see that they can do the same. It should not just be me."

"For years since the very first installment of Last Man Standing event, we have been giving back to those in need. We gave away a car to one of the local artists during our first edition while we did the same for an artist living with disabilities on our second event. Last year we decided to take a young lady to school to study a teaching related course and we are keeping up with how she is doing and always make sure we pay both her school fees and allowance to make her stay in Gaborone smooth."

"This year, we will be hosting our event early so that parents can bring their children with them. They can take them back home in the evening when the night festival resumes. This is a charity festival so it should accommodate everyone. We want parents to bond with their children whilst enjoying the festival. Furthermore, unlike in the previous years, we will be bringing forth a lot of upcoming artists so that we give them exposure while we will be having only one artist from South Africa."

"The show had two aims: first, to instill the spirit of giving among Batswana, and secondly, to use my brand to attract others to join me in this charity drive while enjoying good music."

"The music business is very tricky in that you need someone who understands the pressures that come with the business."

"We should not act like politicians. In fact, politicians appear to fight in public yet work together in the background and fool the people into fighting. As musicians, if we are to fight, let us battles on stage through music."

"What happens on stage remains on stage and what happens at home is different. We know how to differentiate the two."
