MOLEPOLOLE: The 18th edition of the Absa Dithubaruba Cultural Festival delivered a lively celebration of culture here over the weekend. It brought together Bakwena from Botswana and neighbouring countries while opening its platform to people from different cultural backgrounds.

Firmly rooted in Bakwena heritage, Dithubaruba has grown into a wider celebration of Botswana’s cultural diversity. This was evident from the opening sessions, where traditional groups took centre stage and set the tone for the festival. Amongst those who caught the eye were Dipela Tsaga Kobokwe from Molepolole and Bana Ba Kwena, also from the Bakwena capital. They delivered engaging performances that immediately connected with the audience.

Mmurubele also warmed up the stage during the afternoon with a brilliant performance, adding a contemporary feel to the early programme and building anticipation for the evening entertainment.
