The multi-award-winning Manyalo artist, Pleasure Peta took to social media to express her excitement and share the good news with her fans. She says she considers this as an incredible milestone.
“We view this as the biggest achievement and a confirmation that Manyalo music has a crucial role to play in the music. It’s really a big deal for a Manyalo song to get radio time on such a national radio station slot. It’s groundbreaking”, said Pleasure in a statement.
Pleasure Tša Manyalo started her music career in 2005 and has released about 15 albums under her independent label, Pleasuretainment and Music Projects.

“Since its inception in the early 2000’s, manyalo music has always been a favorite in the Limpopo province and is now on an upward trajectory more than ever”, said Pleasure.
