Batlokwa paramount chief, Puso Gaborone, has commended his tribe for upholding their culture and reviving the spirit of self-reliance.

Accepting dikgafela during the Batlokwa culture day at the Tlokweng main Kgotla on Saturday, Gaborone said he was humbled by his tribe’s gesture.

“It is fulfilling to note that most of you are reverting to the old way of doing things where subsistence farming was a top priority to most Batswana.
