Dikgosi suggestions ‘draconian’- promoter

Last week, Kgosi Sibangani Mosojane of North East region asked the then acting Minister of Defence, Justice and Security Kgotla Autlwetse if it was possible to 'screen' foreign artists before they come to perform in the country. Although Autlwetse responded that 'screening' would not help much as it would not predict how the artist would behave while on stage, promoters have expressed disappointment at the suggestion by Dikgosi.

But Seagile has described the suggestion as unrealistic. He said the move would be discriminatory and draconian. “There is nothing new because female dancers have been performing half-naked for Dikgosi for a long time wearing makgabe. Then it means le Dikgosi (from South Africa) must be screened when they visit our Dikgosi in Botswana. The suggestion is unrealistic and discriminative,” said Seagile.
