Mmakgodumo festival showcases Ngwaketse culture

Their Paramount Chief Malope II was amongst the dignitaries who graced the event.  Arriving at the celebrations riding on a donkey cart that was draped with  the Botswana flag, his unique entrance grabbed everyone’s attention from the audience who looked stunning in traditional attire. Malope urged Ba-ga-Ngwaketse to continue celebrating their culture, explaining that such an initiative has the potential to attract tourists to their village.

“I am very delighted that we are celebrating this annual festival for the second time since it commenced last year. I hope that we will keep celebrating it in the coming years. Culture defines a person; our culture defines us and we must always work hard to share and celebrate our rich and beautiful culture with our children and countrymen- not forgetting people from other countries,” he said.
