BEPA calls for reopening of concerts

With COVID-19 continuously causing disruptions across economies, the creative industry has been one of the hardest hit sectors. In Botswana, more than 15 months has so far passed with no action on the live entertainment scene due to the imposed lockdown regulations and curfews.

When the Minister of Youth Empowerment, Sport and Culture Development, Tumiso Rakgare recently announced the return of sport, there was still no talk about opening the entertainment industry. Rakgare could only mention that the annual President’s Day Competitions will not be held when referring to the creatives.
