Speaking to TshisaLIVE, Lesego said: “Like in any profession, one needs to take a break and rest a bit, and I felt I needed that opportunity. Music is a gift I was born with — it will always be in me. I’ve always loved the stage and missed performing for my fans. While I was resting, I was making super great music that I believe is ready to be shared now,” he said.
