She can easily make any fashion “best dressed” list. Mpho “Gigi” Tshwaane set the tone of the weekend with this mood-boosting, visually stimulatin­g classic pairing of a leteisi cropped top and wide leg pants. If you are keen on learning some handy style tricks that involve the weekend’s day outs and celebrator­y settings which makes you stand out, look no further than outfit inspiratio­n from the gorgeous and impeccably dressed Gigi.

With modern separates for the young, working woman, Gigi has your end of the year inspiratio­n outfits.

ALTHOUGH he already has two awards under his belt, Serowe Battle of the DJS in 2018 and President DJ Competitio­n in Gaborone the following year, DJ Pekay is adamant he has not peaked yet.

The talented music man is well known to night revellers in the capital city for his sizzling Kwaito and Amapiano sets and is not averse to adding a bit of Hip Hop to the mix either. Let’s get to know the 27-yearold a bit better…

When you’re not behind the decks, how else do you earn money?

I buy and sell DJ equipment, such as mixers, amplifiers, stage lights and speakers. This is something that helps me to make ends meet when the business is down. I order them from overseas and have never had anyone complainin­g about them. It is quality.

So, what’s the biggest gig you’ve performed at so far?

I played at Clap Your Hands and Maun Summer festival, those two stand out for me.

Who is your role model?

Locally, it has to be DJ Khenzo, our chairman at United Artists Social Club and DJ PH from South Africa.

Where do you dream of performing in the future?

It has to be Gaborone Internatio­nal Music Festival (GIMC), Born and Raised, Tswapong Bolus and Gaabo Motho. Those are events not to missed for a DJ because the atmosphere is always great.

Who is your celebrity crush?

The American actress, Blake Lively.

What’s your favourite hangout?

For now, I will say Leaobah’s Pub in Phase Four. I am a resident DJ there and I have been enjoying it.

Favourite colour? Sky Blue.

...drink? Coca Cola.

If you were to go into a boxing match, who would you like to take on?

DJ Khenzo!

Oh, why?

Because we’re always arguing – (chuckling) so maybe a boxing match would help!

What about in a debate, would you prefer to be up against Ms Luu or MC Bubbles?

Aaah, botlhe ba dingalo, but I’d take Ms Luu.

Five things people don’t know about you?

1. I like deejaying more than anything 2. I like my space,

like being alone 3. I am short

tempered 4. I like money 5. I am honest
