One of the popular local annual cultural events, Son Of The Soil (SOTS) is back but it is coming with a couple of changes.

The theme for the 2017 event is, “Kwa Re Go Yang – Re Kgabile”. The theme is meant to celebrate the centrality of dress to important events in Botswana culture. This year the event will be celebrating the different traditional dresses and current national dress styles. This is especially important in helping address the question of a national dress for Botswana.

However, this year the organisers have decided to bring a couple of changes to rectify the hiccups experienced at last year’s event. This comes after a number of revellers expressed displeasure towards the organisation of the event. Most of them complained about lack of coordination. The venue and the food was served late whilst others had to leave without eating.
