Mmakgodumo Cultural event slated for weekend

This weekend’s event marks the 10th edition of the festival since its inception, promising to be a vibrant showcase of Ngwaketse tradition and cultural pride. Bathoen Trust secretary, Taolo Mogobe, emphasised the event’s mission , which he said it is to preserve and uphold Botswana’s rich cultural heritage, especially that of the Bangwaketse.

“This year’s theme, ‘Ngwao Lore Seikokotlelo’, reflects a new commitment to learning diverse aspects of Ngwaketse tribe-ensuring that their traditional customs, music and crafts are passed down to younger generations,” he told a media briefing.
