Bangwaketse Heritage Day charity festival underway

Institutions like the Bathoen Museum bear testimony to this.  It was a morafe initiative meant to keep the legacy of the tribe's respected former leader, Bathoen Gaseitsiwe, alive as well as its heritage.

A younger generation of Bangwaketse is currently working on other initiatives to help their fellow tribesmen and women make more sense of their origins and culture.  On December 18, Bangwaketse Heritage Day Charity Festival gets underway at Marapalalo Hall, which is located at the heart of the tribe's capital, Kanye.
