The event has grown tremendously over the years. According to one of the event coordinators, Tlamelo 'Petleke' Letlole, they have already hosted some of the event’s annual pre-events, such as a business seminar powered by ABSA on August 17, 2025. He said the event is aimed at teaching patrons about running a cost-effective business and cost-effective measures of business transactions.

“Another successful pre-event was the Dithubaruba Symposium last Thursday. It was about the times and life of Kgosi Sechele. We talked of Ntsweng reimagined as a theme. Our focus was on painting a picture of the livelihood, lifestyle, and culture of the Bakwena of Kgosi Sechele I during the 1960s. We took those elements and brought them to these contemporary world practices,” he said.
