After holding COVID-19-induced virtual fests over the last two years, Gaborone Book Festival (GBF) returns for long-craved in-person attendances for its fifth anniversary this week.

This year's event will run from September 15 to 17 with activities of the first two days held at Maitisong Theatre and the last one – the main fest day – scheduled for the University of Botswana (UB) Auditorium.

The edition's theme is aptly titled ‘The Reunion’.
