MAUNATLALA: The annual Tswapian Bolus music event hosted in the village of Maunatlala took place this Christmas, despite a lot of challenges, including downpours and a bad start.

The music subdivision felt the pinch too, with entertainers and those equally essential in the sector taking to the streets, protesting for some kind of comfort. Government and other parties did all they could to save the ailing industry, but for two consecutive years, musicians were hardly coping.
