Molepolole Main Kgotla was painted red early this week when the 15th installment of the Dithubaruba Cultural Festival was launched and the announcement of partnership with ABSA Life Botswana.

The event which was started in 2007 will be celebrated under the theme, 'Maropeng go a boelwa, go sa boelweng ke maleng', a Setswana proverb meaning that one should never be reluctant to reclaim a glorious past.
