Jeremane rules at the Son of the Soil 2012 festival

Monday, February 27, 2012

It is popularly known as Jeremane and leteisi in Tswana societies. The German print was the attire of the day at the seventh Son of the Soil Cultural Festival held outside Rasesa on Saturday.

This was evident at the 2012 Son of the Soil (SOTS) which was an all leteisi affair. Themed "kapari ya setso", (traditional attire) the event proved that leteisi (German print) is a commonly accepted Setswana traditional attire.
