With over a decade since founded, Kwela Tebza has been marvellously and vibrantly entertaining thousands on many a stage across the world. The trio made up of three men, the Lerole brothers; Mpho, Tebogo and Tshepo have stepped out into the music industry and have edged their position successfully. What sets them apart from many in the music industry is their key musical element - the Penny whistle. A fine instrument that is exclusively their trademark and has moulded their fine craft and given them persona to set an unforgettable tone. This dainty instrument along with their musical talent has launched them to a spectacular platform that has taken them from one prestigious stage to another, such as the South African Music Awards, The Academy Awards, FIFA World Cup. They have collaborated with many esteemed South African artists like The Parlotones, Mahotela Queens, Zolani of Freshly Ground, Sliqour, Mxo, Tuks, Mzekezeke and Khanyi Mbau just to name a few. The Leroles are heirs and now carriers of the distinctive Kwela genre with a very patriotic and proud mannerism on their craft, music and country; they hoist their flag up high to the world hence their first album - from a trilogy series titled "Made in South Africa" Apart from being musicians in such a unique and niche Market; as philanthropist, Green Ambassadors, Kwela Tebza is working on a reality television series ”Dream Builders” to build previously disadvantaged families and communities homes and schools, uplifting and empowering the needy on the importance of greening our communities, building better living and education conditions of South African people and the innovative trio have also taken steps in the movement of teaching the youth about their heritage, culture, music literature and the Penny whistle.
