Bright future for 30 Mrepa

The future looks bright for Aron Rasivhetshele, better known as 30 Mrepa in local Venda Rap (VenRap) music circles.

This comes after the young man from Makonde village won the Song of the Year Category during the Afri-Dzonga Music Awards 2016, which were recently held at Malamulele Stadium. The piece that separated 30 Mrepa from the boys is his hit song, A tshi dzungudzi, which is penetrating the music scene with unstoppable force.  

30 Mrepa remains one of the best up-and-coming VenRap artists who will automatically leave his critics with their mouths open. His acrobatic dances, exceptional vocal flow and engagement with fans give him a clear advantage in his blossoming music career.

After winning the award, Rasivhetshele said that he had made a name for himself in other provinces "and this was the time to impress people at home. Most of the people just know me as a young boy from Makonde, but it was the perfect opportunity to realize my potential, so that everybody can know that I exist. I’m happy because I have also managed to impress those who took me for granted.”

He said after winning the award, he has been receiving bookings on a daily basis. “When God open doors, no one can close them. I have gigs lining up and I will make sure that I put in extra effort to impress more. I’m also happy that my music is receiving massive airplay both on Phalaphala FM and regional community radio stations.”

An electrical engineer by profession, Rasivhetshele says despite his support, he also owes his success to fellow artists like Papa Thile, Ramzee Bamba, Adolf and V-Boy. “Those are my musical teachers who made me what I am today.”

He concluded: “I would have not done justice if I don’t thank my loyal fans who voted endlessly for me to get the award. Words alone cannot express my gratitude. I dedicate this award to all my fans for their kind and endless support.”
