FRANCISTOWN: Thirty-three-year-old Saone Bikitshane has broken ranks in a male dominated profession of performing arts to make it her primary source of her income. Trading under Sesana Arts Agency, she aims to empower youth in Francistown, so that they can showcase their talents and sustain their standard of living.

Bikitshane told Business Monitor that the agency was formed in order to bridge the gap that exists in performing arts, especially in the second city. She added that Francistowners are dependent on art performers from Gaborone even though there is abundant talent in the city. She said that Sesana Arts Agency instills self-reliance in artists so that they can be dependant on themselves, and it (the agency) teaches them the spirit of hardwork and discipline. Bikitshane added that the agency attracted performing artists such as musicians, poets, traditional dancers, drama contemporary dancers just to name a few.

“My agency has so far registered over 32 performing artists and they are going to be paid on commission looking at the performances they have played.  The artists will be hired for corporate events to entertain guests through the skills and experience they gained from the agency,” she said.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
