The festival has partnered with The Voice newspaper to make it a success. Addressing the gathering during the launch of the event hosted a stone's throw away from Limpopo River at Ramotlabaki village recently, The Voice newspaper managing director, Gomolemo Kasale, said celebrating 30 years of existence allowed them to pause and reflect on what they have achieved particularly in the entertainment space. He added that their newspaper recognises the idea that entertainment and information were not separate entities. Kasale explained that Seanokeng Limpopo Camp Festival was a veldt-bush event for elders who want to explore cultural exchange, unwind off-grid and listen to good live music while watching the beautiful African sunset. He added that the event’s primary goal was to market and celebrate hidden treasures of Bakgatla heritage that include many tourist attractions in Botswana.
“We have played an important role in the development and nurturing of the entertainment industry over the years. For the longest time, our paper has been sectionalised and most of the pages have been allocated to entertainment. In the past, we had 12 pages just for entertainment but because of economic pressures we reduced to eight pages,” Kasale said. “We still give the entertainment section prominence. When talking about the events, I believe we have done a lot through partnering with events that started from nothing and became the biggest in the country and we continue to partner with events of any kind to keep our entertainment industry alive,” he said.
