Aron Rasivhetshele, better known as 30 Mrepa in the local Venda Rap (VenRap) music circles, recently stole the show during the Ndamu Guest House Annual Music Festival in Makonde.
Although he does not have a distinctive posture, 30 Mrepa left everyone crying for more when he descended the stage. His acrobatic dances, exceptional vocal flow and engagement with fans gave him a clear advantage over other artists whom he shared the stage with.
Rasivhetshele, who stays at Makonde village, said that he had made a name for himself in other places "and this was the time to impress people from home. Most of the people here just know me as a local young boy, but it was the perfect opportunity to realize my potential in front of the people from my home. I'm happy because I also have managed to impress those who took me for granted."
He mentioned after the performance that he is receiving bookings on a daily basis. "When God open doors, no one can close them. Due to that electric performance, I have gigs lining up and I will make sure that I put in the extra effort to impress more. I'm also happy that my music is receiving massive airplay both on Phalaphala FM and regional community radio stations."
An electrical engineer by profession, Rasivhetshele says apart from his supporters, he also owes his success to Papa Thile, Ramzee Bamba, Adolf and V-Boy. "Those are my musical teachers who made me what I am today."
