FRANCISTOWN: Following a disappointing festival held recently, Domboshaba Cultural Trust (DCT) board has moved swiftly to call for an elective annual general meeting (AGM).

The AGM will be held on November 4 in Domboshaba at the cultural village. The festival is in its 18th year of existence.

Shabani said the AGM is opened to the public.  He said DCT has invited chiefs from all villages in the northeast, all stakeholders and the subscribing members of Domoboshaba.

He said the agenda of the AGM will be made of three key issues; the board of directors detailed report of the past three years, the financial report and the new board elections.
