FRANCISTOWN: Following a disappointing festival held recently, Domboshaba Cultural Trust (DCT) board has moved swiftly to call for an elective annual general meeting (AGM).

The AGM will be held on November 4 in Domboshaba at the cultural village. The festival is in its 18th year of existence. At the past edition of the festival the board was at the receiving end of criticism from the guest speaker, Anthony Matenge. The former statesmen felt the board was not doing enough to resuscitate the declining cultural festival. He called the board to meet immediately after the festival to arrange for an elective AGM to usher in new members with fresh perspectives that could save the fading festival. Three weeks later the board heeded the call and the AGM is on the cards. DCT board deputy secretary Smarts Shabani confirmed the development. Shabani said the AGM is opened to the public.  He said DCT has invited chiefs from all villages in the northeast, all stakeholders and the subscribing members of Domoboshaba.

He said the agenda of the AGM will be made of three key issues; the board of directors detailed report of the past three years, the financial report and the new board elections.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
