The Chibuku Road to Fame talent search registration process started countrywide last month (December 2013).

A press release from Kgalagadi Breweries stated that the talent search, an initiative by the locally brewed Chibuku beer brand, would see contestants showcase their various talents in the hope of winning the grand prize of P100 000.

Regional auditions wer set to be held in Gaborone, Palapye, Francistown and Lobatse, from which the top three contestants will be selected per venue.

Purchasing four pints of Chibuku automatically guaranteed one a spot in the registration process, with only those above the age of 18 eligible to enter.

The release stated that the first round of registration started on December 8, with more dates to be released later, providing information on the venues of the regional competitions.

It also said the competition was not limited to Chibuku consumers only but also to people in remote areas to have a chance to showcase their talents.

Furthermore, the release stated that the Chibuku Road to Fame talent show had partnered with a number of local artistes in taking the competition to people throughout Botswana.

Lloyd of Wizards of the Desert, Makau, Mapetla and Dan Tshanda were just a few of the artistes who would be a part of the project, working to unearth, nurture and grow Botswana talent.

During the regionals, artistes from the areas would be headlining the show. The grand finale will be held in Gaborone on March 29. ENDS
