UB Cultural Day Was A Welcome Breather For Everyone

Like a chameleon showing off its different beautiful colours, University of Botswana (UB) last week reflected its cultural diversity in a colourful affair that saw students from a number of countries showcasing their cultural dresses, food, song and dance.

The event, themed Cultural Diversity: Celebrating Our Differences attracted Cubans, Kenyans, Basotho, Somalis, Nigerians, Swazi people, Kenyans and even  French speaking people, who came through the French institution, Alliance Francaise. One of Botswana's notable cultural groups, Kamanakao was also represented at the occasion. In this event, it was a meeting between Africa, Europe and the world in general. The event signified the fact once stated by a singer who said 'people are the same, everywhere.' In a university hall, here in Botswana, Nigerians, Cubans and Basotho communed and shared their varying cuisines with ease and comfort.
