MASERU – Mokoenya Chele discovered Tsepo Tshola in the early 70’s. He recruited him to join his band the BLUE DIAMONDS, and Tsepo dropped out of Lerotholi Polytechnic where he was training as a carpenter.

Listen to the story of their friendship on our podcast …

Chele is a musician and Basotho culture activist and connoisseur.

He was a founding member and organiser of Morija Arts and Cultural Festival and the Thaba Bosiu Heritage Organisation which seeks to resuscitate the cultural and historical significance in the formation of the Basotho nation, for local and international recognition.

He is also a retired radio broadcaster.

      Death be not proud. It has once again stolen a giant in the African music industry. I never thought that this great Soul will die at a time where he is needed in our life time. My soul and spirit are so devastated by his death. I thank God for affording me an opportunity to show him my love for him whilst he was still alive.
      May His Godly Soul rest in eternal peace

    From the first moment that my friend and I heard them (Sankomota) at the Lesotho National stadium in the mid 80s, I fell in love with their music. May his soul rest in eternal peace le bohle ba falletseng.
    To use one of the quotes from his album “Hoja borena ha bo tsoalloe, o kabe o le morena. Leha hole joalo, ho rona o Morena”.
