This year marks Bakwena ba Molepolole's 16th Edition of Dithubaruba cultural event, which promises to bring more exciting activities.

The pre-events such as the symposium and Dithubaruba Heritage Walk started on Thursday and Saturday. The event coordinator, Tlamelo Letlole, also famed as Petleke said they introduced a new event dubbed The Play on the Life and Times of Kgosi Motswapele II of Bakwena on September 6, 2024 in the evening.

He said last year it attracted a number of people, which over crowded the venue.

It has grown because it has attracted Bakwena from other countries such as South Africa, Zimbabwe, Lesotho, Namibia and others. This time around is not only Bakwena from Limpopo and Bafokeng but other Bakwena from different provinces who will grace the occasion. We also attracted diplomatic missions from Cuba, China and Nigeria who brought their groups for cultural exchange purposes.
