Dintorokong Choir represented Kweneng District very well as they were crowned this year's dikhwaere champions after scoring 88%. The choir was no stranger to scooping the first position during the dikhwaere competition as they previously won the same competition back in 2017. It must have won the judges’ hearts by composing a song that resonated well with the theme as per the requirement from the Ministry of Youth, Gender, Sports and Culture. Their attire and dance formation were also splendid. This year's National Arts Festival was themed, "Tlhabololo ya itsholelo ka botaki le bodiragatsi", meaning the contribution of the arts industry in boosting the country's economy. During the competition, many choirs sang about the beauty of the Setswana culture and how traditional songs and arts could help in boosting the country's economy. Some pointed out that the country relied on natural resources to sustain itself while some sang about how exporting meat by the Botswana Meat Commission (BMC) to European countries played a role in boosting the country's economy. Others sang of how diamond mining also contributed towards boosting the country's economy. They also highlighted that it was through local diamonds that we see beautiful diamond jewellery such as rings and necklaces crafted. Furthermore, they sang about the importance of preserving the Setswana culture and heritage. Each choir was allowed to sing one song.
Meanwhile, Sedibelo Choir from Mochudi got position two with 83%. The choir came prepared for a win as even its attire was superb. Badiragatsi Choir also from Mochudi who were last year's champions spiced up their appearance and their performance with seditse (made from horses tail), which they used to whip on the air while dancing. The choir got the venue that was noisy at the time and the venue quickly turned quiet as everyone was curious to see what made them last year's champions. Their magnificent performance got the audience cheering.
