The 2023 installment of the popular Afro Jazz event, a sister event to the Gaborone International Music and Culture Week (GIMC) kicked off on Saturday at the Molapo Piazza, with the show featuring American star, Jonathan Butler.

GIMC is a week-long music extravaganza usually held at the beginning of the summer season in the city capital. This year the festivities are slated for August 26 to September 2.

Whilst the full order of the events is yet to be released, it is highly likely that the organisers will keep the same events from comedy, choral, poetry, jazz, champagne picnic ending with the music festival.
