Culture Spears invited Jah Prayzah to perform as a guest artiste at the launch of their latest album, Kulanche at Kagisong Centre in Gaborone and Boccim Hall in Francistown on Friday and Saturday respectively.

In an interview with NewsDay yesterday, Jah Prayzah’s manager, Filda Muchabaiwa said Botswana fans should expect a great show.
