“We have been hosting the event since 2010, and it has grown from a house party to a major crowd-pulling event in Lobatse,” says Polelo. “This year’s event is special because it’s our comeback after relocating to England in 2023. People thought it would never return, but we’re back, and we are bringing the heat,” he said. The NHTP is a lifestyle event that attracts a stylish, vibey, mature, and decent audience from all corners of Botswana. And this year, the lineup is fire, with electrifying performances expected from DJ 4DD, DJ Trax, DJ Mr Tryce, DJ Leb Gee, Mc Theo, THABO, DJ Sly, DJ Dallas, and DJ Tallie D. “We have brought in new faces to our lineup, and we’re excited to showcase the local talent,” Polelo says.
“NHTP fully supports local artists, and we’re proud to feature some of the best Batswana DJs and MCs.” The event will kick off at 11 am, and attendees are encouraged to arrive early for smooth entry. Cooler boxes are allowed, but no quarts will be permitted inside the venue. A bar will be available, serving beverages and cocktails, and cooler boxes will be charged at P40 after 5 pm. Security is a top priority, with tight measures in place to ensure everyone’s safety. “We’ll have visible security personnel and police presence to prevent crime,” Polelo assures. “We have also added more lights to improve security,” he adds.
