Founder Pako William Mosimanegape said they have invited President Mokgweetsi Masisi to officiate at the event expected to start at 10am.
According to Mosimanegape, Tswana cuisine would be served to VIP and silver ticket holders. He, however, explained that the traditional beer and ginger (gemere) will be given for free. He added that the activities of the day include different cultural music, folklore poems and traditional games.
“There will also be a children's corner where they will be kept busy with traditional games, face painting just to mention but a few. However, in the evening there will be a music festival where traditional music talents will be performing like Alfredo Mos, Gaone Gee, Segalaupa, Mmurubele and others. The renowned and talented folklore poet Moroka Moreri will be keeping revellers entertained with his rich poems."
Mosimanegape added that they will be having different companies buying stalls to showcase their products. He added that security will be very high as they intend to engage two security companies from parking to inside and patrolling with dogs.
"This event aims to resuscitate businesses of Molepolole even though they will be buying stalls at P500. Through this event, entrepreneurs have an opportunity to interact with other business-minded people from different walks of the corporate world. I have invited the banks and other banking institutions," he said.
He added that he will be donating five percent of the gate takings to any Non-Governmental Organisation with the help of a social worker.
VIP tickets are sold at P300 inclusive of Tswana cuisine, silver tickets go for P250 inclusive of bogobe and seswaa sa podi or kgomo, while the P200 ticket has no food servings. Children’s tickets sold at P100 will also not include food.
