Masisi: Arts Council wars stall creatives' growth

Masisi, who was speaking during an interaction session with Botswana's creative industry on Wednesday morning, said the council was set up to enable the commercialisation of the creative sector but has stood in the way of progress. The event aimed to foster dialogue and collaboration amongst artists, designers and other creatives, highlighting the government's support for the creative sector and exploring opportunities for innovation and growth.

Although the president said he has seen a bit of progress in the sector since his last meeting with the local creatives, he, however, added that there was a lot to be done.
