Given Refiloe Kekana is a 24-year-old young man living in Lephalale. A small town in the North
Western part of South Africa. He is a musician, a rapper who solely relies on his music for
income. Given or Mapimpana as he is affectionately known as across his town has a
qualification in mining. Meaning he can easily apply for a job at one of the nearest power plants
that features in town and find employment.
Mapimpana grew up wanting to become a musician. It was unfortunate that there was no
school around Lephalale that had media studies. Besides his parents had already decided what
he was to study, safety management. It was during an exam session in a school hall that gave
him conviction to pursue a music career. He didn’t want to be desk bound or put on Personal
Protective Gear when we wanted to go to work. He then completed the course for the sake of
his parents, but insisted on pursuing a music career when it was time to look for a job, to which
it was not taken lightly by his parents.
The decision to pursue a music career comes from a pattern he saw in his brothers who regrets
choosing a career their parents and society wanted for them and not what they wanted for
themselves. One of Mapimpana’s brothers Frans Kekana, who introduced Mapimpana to music
wanted to become a soccer player after his high school graduation. But he couldn’t because of
what their parents wanted for him and the pressures of working at one of the power plants,
Frans lives with regret of what he could’ve been if he chased his dream career. Mapimpana
wanted to break that cycle.
The film picks up during the recording of Mapimpana’s debut Ep (Album) project and radio tour
promotion. As we follow him we get to learn and understand the internal struggles he is going
through. From halfhearted blessings his parents has regarding him pursuing a music career to
trying to honor his brother’s sacrifices
