What vaccine news means for the creative industry

Saturday, May 29, 2021

President Mokgweetsi Masisi recently announced that government will prioritise the whole Botswana population in rolling out the COVID-19 vaccine once it has been procured.

This will now give hope to the live event industry, which has effectively been shut down since March last year due to the pandemic.
