Guest (Studio): Eugene Mthethwa - Member of Trompies Mandla Spikiri has bereavement in the family

Focus: With their brightly coloured spottys and street-slang singing and dancing, the Trompies have risen to the upper echelon of South African Kwaito music. Since their debut in 1994, their records have sold more than a half million copies while their hits, including "Thalakele," sold more than 40,000 copies. Their 1997 single, "Magasman," recorded with Lebo Mathosa of Boom Shaka, has become a national anthem and has been featured on the soundtracks of many South African films. Rooted in the mapantsula style, Trompies has transformed the style's reputation as the music of gangsters to a much-respected musical genre.
