The Independence Day of Botswana, commonly called Boipuso, is a national holiday observed in Botswana on September 30 of every year. The date celebrates Botswana's Declaration of Independence from the United Kingdom on September 30, 1966.

A very exciting and eventful day for as long as many Batswana can remember. Blue, Black and White flags flying high, bogologolo there was also rainbow coloured bantons put up in the streets, very festive! Then there was of course the highly anticipated activity at the National Stadium and flying jets. Due to Covid -19 some of these are just memories.

This doesn’t bring Batswana down, the 30th of September rolls around and the excitement in the air is purely electric. Both kids and adults don their national colours and sing the national anthem with pride. ChellzKitchen built up to Spring season with a baking competition, and had a lot of fun with some fellow bakers online who engaged in confectionary sport.
