Hosted by Kgari Sechele Museum in partnership with other stakeholders, Dithubaruba has proved to be one of the sought-out cultural festivals around the country.Despite the cold windy weather, throngs of people descended upon Molepolole to attend the cultural spectacle that proved to be luke-warm. Synonymous with their efforts to always look good, women came clad in traditional outfits.However they had to hide them underneath jackets as the weather did not allow them to showcase their outfits. The men did not make much effort in dressing for a traditional or cultural best as they wore their normal everyday clothes. With proceedings that proved to be somewhat too serious and not that entertaining, the mood was lifted when folk music stalwarts Sibongile Kgaile and Solly Sebotso took to the stage. The crowd that showed boredom suddenly cheered up and danced to the guitar sounds of the men who had taken the centre stage. Kgaile and Sebotso strummed their guitars with pride much to the appreciation of the audience who were cheering and dancing on.
The day was also saved when traditional dance groups took to the stage. Among the groups were Kgabo Sereto from Thamaga and Matona a Koma from Kopong who warmed the stage with their highly charged dance moves. Prior to the traditional dance were performances by dikhwaere who did not manage to captivate the attention of the audience.
