Women of song share testimonies

The occasion, which is part of the Botswana Music Entertainment Week organised by the Botswana Musicians Union (BOMU) in partnership with Music Total Group, is meant to provide a platform where women in the creative industry can sit around the table, discuss to inspire and uplift one another. The country's creative industry, which has battled to emerge from infancy in many places, has all along been male dominated with limited opportunities for women. It has also been an industry in which women have not really been able to thrive with only a few women such as Charma Gal, Maxy Khoisan and renowned promoter, Zenzele Hirschfeld among a few have survived the harsh conditions. On its first edition, the workshop managed to pull multitudes of people, especially women. In attendance were artists such as Charma Gal, Mpho Sebina, Dato Seiko, and many others.
