HRDC Celebrates BOT50 In A Breathtaking Setswana Way :: Mmegi Online

The Human Resource Development Council (HRDC) celebrated Botswana’s culture in style Friday in a culturally themed garden occasion. The event looked at the journey post independence, lessons learnt and how the future could be better imagined tapping from history. Cultural cuisine was plentiful with wooden tablemats and traditionally accessorised napkins adding a contemporary touch to the experience.

Staff, board members and affiliated organisations thronged the BOT50 party clad in Setswana attire, which was rich in celebrating the cultural diversity this nation is rich with. Minister of education and skills development, Unity Dow said while 50 years might look short in the life of an individual, for a nation it is a milestone hence every reason to celebrate the golden jubilee.

“As we celebrate we are taking a moment to pause, to look at the past, the present and imagine the future,” she said. She added that though challenges are there, the country comes a long way from gaining independence amidst a drought in 1966 , and economic challenges to where it is today.
