Molomo cultural ceremony showcases Batlokwa's way of celebrating harvest

Molomo also known in other cultures as Dikgafela is a ceremony done every season of harvest to thank God, ancestors and Kgosi (chief) for a successful harvest.This is done by the community who take part of their harvest to their royal leader so that he and his family can eat whilst also feeding the underprivileged members of the community. Some of the harvest is stored for future use more especially during drought.

Dressed in all blue skirts, matching shawls known as megalolwane (checked blankets worn by women in Botswana at various traditional ceremonies including weddings) and head scarfs Batlokwa painted the Kgotla blue as they prepared to present their harvest before Kgosi Puso Gaborone and his wife. The men opted for earth colour outfits.
