JWANENG: Kuela Kiema still remembers the first time that he attended the Kuru Dance Festival. It was a small occasion back then, he remembers, held in the settlement of D'Kar in the Ghanzi District, with Basarwa dancers from the surrounding settlements entertaining the audience.

"It was the first time in my life I had been to an event organised entirely by the Basarwa.  I felt very, very proud.

I was happy to see all the Basarwa dances and that is why I was motivated to be part of the festival," he told Arts & Culture on Tuesday.  He said for him, this perfectly encapsulated the "Do It" spirit; the word Kuru is Naro for "Do It."  Kiema is now the chairperson of the annual dance festival's organising committee.
