Serema Ngambi's love for culture and natural heritage have inspired him to produce a documentary series dubbed Ditso with the aim of telling untold stories on history of Botswana's diverse tribes.

The documentary film is a 24 minutes delivery on Botswana’s linguistic and cultural diversity. Ngambi, who is a self-proclaimed cultural activist and researcher, told Arts & Culture that he worked with all chieftainships from various tribes in Botswana, Ministries of Youth Empowerment, Sport and Culture Development as well as Local Government and Rural Development on the research project.

The documentary is expected to act as an educational guide for all people on the historical background, totems, traditions and customs of different tribes found in Botswana. “Ditso documentary series will be airing on Botswana Television (Btv) every Friday at 6.30pm and repeat every Saturday at 11.30am. It motivates me to work hard because it shows that what I do on the arts and creative industry is commendable hence be rewarded. This is the beginning of bigger things to come because we are going to cover elements of culture in different tribes like music, food, attire hence each element makes a season on our documentary series,” he said.
