'he three awards that Khuli Chana scooped at the 19th MTN South African Music Awards (SAMA) should inspire youth to work hard in pursuit of their dreams and contribute towards a province that focuses on its well being in all spheres, Premier Thandi Modise said on Monday.
In congratulating hip hop artist, Khulane Morule aka Khuli Chana from Mmabatho Unit 2 in Mahikeng whose album “Lost in time “won in the album of the year category at the annual music awards held at Sun City Superbowl over the weekend, Premier Modise told Khuli Chana that he has done the province proud and is maturing with age since his first album was launched in 2001.
Modise said that the province will be intensifying its effort to turnaround Mmabana so that it is able to unearth the abundant talent in the province as it positions itself to continue to export art, creativity and work towards regaining its peacemaking identity.
Thirty year old Khuli Chana who is a Mmabana talent show product also won the best rap and best male artist categories. His album is the first hip hop album to scoop the album of the year since the inception of the SAMAS.
Khuli Chana whose motto is: “Inspiration exists but it must find you working” is encouraging upcoming artists to take their craft seriously.
Khuli Chana’s sterling performance at the SAMA follows the 2013 Metro FM award he won in March for his collaboration with Kabelo Oageng aka Notsi with the title song “Tswa Daar”
Plans are already afoot to organise a function for the hip hop artist to celebrate his achievement with his fans and well-wishers on the 1st of next month in his hometown of Mahikeng.
