Gaborone is gearing up for the Gaborone International Music and Culture Week (GIMC), a multi-disciplinary celebration that brings together music, fitness, poetry, comedy and more.

The event kicks off tomorrow, with GIMC Fitness at the GICC Marquee, followed by the GIMC jazz festival at Bojanala Waterfront on Saturday. Headlining the jazz showcase is legendary American R&B singer Karyn White, who will perform in Botswana for the first time.

White, who arrived earlier this week, has been enjoying her time in Botswana and she is keen to make her debut performance a memorable one. She has also invited local fans to help shape her set by sharing the songs from her catalogue they would most like to hear.

Exercise extra caution!

Unfortunately, petty thieves tend to be more vicious around this time as they also prepare for the festive season. Culturally, many Batswana go home for the holiday, and petty thieves are amongst those who go home. Burglaries, car break-ins, and attacks on unsuspecting pedestrians seem to be on the rise!That is not all, as scammers continue to take money from pensioners as well as other Batswana who may fall prey to their unscrupulous tactics....
