The Kuru Development Trust’s Kuru Dance Festival, a two-day event celebrating the rich culture and beautiful traditional dances and music of the San, will be celebrating 20 years of existence this year. The organisers are calling for more support from Batswana.

This celebration of the San culture to be held from August 24 - 25, 2018 at Dqae Qare San Lodge, near Gantsi, Botswana has always catered both to locals and to a wider international audience in the past years.

The coordinator of Kuru Development Trust, Mangana Mangana told Arts & Culture that they want to attract more people this year. “Culture is our identity, more tribes have to come here so that we share our culture. All we need is to see the participation grow, this event is not meant for profit,” he said.  Mangana added that through the festival they want to showcase their culture as Batswana.
