This after the release of her new single, John Cena, named after John, as a result the song hit the #1 trending spot on YouTube.
The response was overwhelmingly solicited from top performers worldwide, as they congratulated both John and Sho.

Friday the 13th is usually associated with or considered an unlucky day in Western superstition. Since this will be taking place in Venda, doom-sayers expect nothing but Holy Friday (yes pun intended).
The growth of the fest continues to attract and re-invent itself to accommodate people from all walks of life be it- locals, travellers in an effort to explore this magical region called Limpopo, that recently showed positive improvement within the domestic tourism statistics released by the national tourism department, pushing its ranks upwards and making it one of the most preferred tourism destinations in the country.
So, lets continue celebrating our heritage this month…
