Oleseng Shuping, commonly known by his first name Oleseng, was one of South Africa's most beloved gospel artists, renowned for his spirited and soulful music that resonated deeply within the hearts of his fans. Often attired in traditional Basotho dress, Oleseng's music was not only a testament to his faith but also a celebration of his cultural heritage. His melodic voice and meaningful lyrics, often sung in Setswana, brought a sense of hope and solace to listeners, transcending language barriers through the universal language of music.

Throughout his career, Oleseng released a plethora of albums that solidified his status as a cornerstone of South African gospel music. Among his acclaimed works are "Collection Vol. 2," "Ha Ditshwane," "Oleseng Collection Vol 1," and "The Best Of Oleseng," each offering a collection of hymns and spiritual songs that capture his devotion to both God and his craft. His albums "Tsa Bofelo" and "Tsa Bofelo Vol. 2," as well as "Dithoriso Diye Gontate," showcase the depth of his influence in the genre, while "Afrika"—echoing a sense of continental pride—along with "Hareatla Ka Boikhantsho" and "I Need Your Touch," further display the breadth of his vocal talents and ability to move hearts. Oleseng's music remains a fixture in South African gospel music, continuing to inspire and uplift long after his untimely passing in 2010.
