“The foundation deemed it prudent to arrange for him to return to his feet and continue with what he does best in the entertainment industry. No one can argue Shebe’s contribution to the music industry,” Mpe said during the launch of the show at the Park Inn by Radisson Polokwane earlier today.

Mpe also announced the newly formed Onthathile Gladys Foundation that will give back to the community in remembrance of Shebe’s daughter.
