From Limpopo to “Mawatle”

Johannesburg, Friday, 30 April 2021 – New school rapper and all-rounder musician, CzAr ODriego, has released his smash record, Mawatle, out now on all digital stores.

It is not everyday where we see young creatives fight hard for what they believe in without expecting any handout. Tiego Matibe Molatudi, 29, is an embodiment of the abovementioned. He is hardworking and wants to make a name for himself.

He is known professionally as CzAr ODriego. CzAr has proven that whether he is on a stage making thousands of music lovers dance to his new school rap music or solving problematic mathematical equations – he will reach his dreams one way or another. 

It was on a windy blue Monday after school when CzAr penned his smash hit single titled Mawatle.

CzAr holds a B.Ed degree from the University of Limpopo. He spends his days teaching mathematics and Science, but on the particular day he envisioned being out and wild with a nice vibe, thus the title Mawatle.

“Mawatle is a follow up single to Meetse Ka Ntlong. The story here grows giving more meaning to the idea of making a name in the industry and calling everyone to watch and celebrate as I surf my way to the top. It’s a song for those who love to party and drink. So, Mawatle here refers to all the liquor that we drown ourselves in when we’re happy,” he explains.

After gaining public recognition, he won the Exposure Media Production music video competition. He knew that the road would be lengthy. However, with sheer determination he too would be counted amongst the stars.

CzAr explains further, “I knew my journey would not be easy. Thus far the biggest challenges I’ve faced on the come up is being taken advantage of by promoters and people wanting us to do free shows. I am self-funded and rely on paying gigs to boost my marketing budget -budget.”

Mawatle is a feel-good song that speaks about wanting to have a good time, but it also shares a part of his life of being an educator. 

“It’s important to get educated, because it gives you the opportunity to hustle better, fund your dreams and be. You know schools knock off before 5pm and most of the time we’re free on weekends. So, for me that’s time to create and record more material.”

Make sure you keep your ears on the ground as CzAr ODriego rides his way all the way to the top with his new school sound.

Telkom joins forces with top Mzansi personalities to talk to consumers in local languages

Telkom has made meaningful strides recently, notably climbing up the ranks to become the third largest mobile network service provider in the country, thanks to its competitive data-led offering which customers have foundmost beneficial during the national lockdown. Today the company announced its new influencer partners; namely, Tumi Morake, Khutso Theledi, Leigh-Anne Williams and MartelizeBrink. This, as the company endeavours to drive even more education about the accessibility and affordability of connectivity, especially in the home front, true to its brand purpose to leave no man behind as the world needs to connect more than ever.

 

Telkom launched the influencer program in 2020 with a strategy to partner with African Language Stations (ALS) radio station influencers in order to make its communications inclusive within all South African communities. The company will continue with five of the original influencers from last year including Zizo Tshwete, Seipati Twasa Seoke, Dudu Khoza, Selby Mkhize and Brian Rikhotso. 

 

“Telkom has connected communities and people since its inception; it is our goal to ensure that communication is always clear, simple and inclusive. We have an array of products and services that truly enable a good quality of life for our consumers and we want to ensure that there are no barriers in them having knowledge about and access to them. Based on the success of the partnerships we had last year, with personalities from the various ALS radio stations, we are thrilled to expand our relationships toinclude the Afrikaans speaking community,” said Gugu Mthembu – Telkom’s Chief Marketing Officer. 

 

The ALS radio stations are spread across Zulu, isiXhosa, Xitsonga radio, Sesotho and Setswana as well as Afrikaans andyouth focused radio station YFM. 

 

Tumi Morake added: “I am thrilled to be a part of this journey with Telkom. Usually brands will call on you to help them sell something, but this has felt like an invitation with a clear mission to accomplish something that is aligned to my beliefs; that people should always be connected. I do it through laughter and Telkom does it through accessible technology. It’s the perfect marriage in my eyes.”

 

Telkom has recently introduced compelling consumer offerings, including its video-streaming platform – TelkomONE and the Telkom Digital Wallet operated through WhatsApp: “We are always working and innovating as a business; with technology at the core of our services and products, always with the goal toconnect people as seamlessly as possible and in the most affordable way. Keep your eyes peeled on Telkom; we have so much more in store that consumers can expect for the value they’ve come to expect from us,” concluded Mthembu.
