Setswana poetry to promote culture

He said this when calling out to Africans, more especially Batswana, not to forget their roots.

In 1970 Seretse called on Africans to “discover and write their own history” to overcome “the racist insistence that the past of Africa was a worthless blank, waiting for Europeans”.  Today, Maruping Poetry Organisation is one of the few clubs that have heard the president’s call and adhered to his plea.  The club aims to promote Setswana culture through poetry in an event dubbed Maruping Go A Boelwa.
