When the sun sets over Montshiwa Grounds in Kanye on May 2, singing will only just begin. For a full 24 hours, voices will rise and fall, claps will keep time, and footsteps will tell stories older than the district itself.

That is the promise of the Kuka La Ngwao 24-Hours Dikhwaere Festival, a celebration of song, dance, and Setswana heritage under the theme Segarona Sengwaketse Ka Monate.

“My name is Edison Bareng, the visionary behind the Kuka La Ngwao 24-Hours Dikhwaere Festival,” says the event organiser. “As the event organiser, I am committed to promoting Botswana’s cultural heritage through music and traditional expression.” For Bareng, the 24-hour format is not a gimmick. It is a statement. The 24-hour dikhwaere event symbolises cultural continuity, unity, and endurance. The event seeks to revive and celebrate indigenous choral traditions while fostering pride in Setswana identity and heritage,” he added.
