Thapong awards postponed to November

Tuesday, September 14, 2010

The Annual Thapong Artist of the Year Award (TAYA) has been postponed to November 5. Speaking to Showtime during an interview in Gaborone yesterday, Thapong coordinator Reginald Bakwena said that the postponement was done so as to give artists ample time to prepare their presentations.

"We felt that our artists need time to produce good quality artworks; so we decided to give them more time to do so," he said adding that artists also need to research the works that they hope to present.

Another reason for the postponement is that the date clashed with the annual 1000 Toyota Desert Race, popularly known as Mmantshwabisi, which will start and finish at Kumakwane village on the Gaborone-Kanye Highway.
