Balete celebrated their culture day at Ramotswa kgotla on Saturday under the theme bana ba kgwale ba bitsana ka molodi.

Dubbed letsatsi la barwa Kgodumo, the day began with a beautiful performance from a group of elderly band mates from Ramotswa called Ditlhaka Traditional Group. The group plays ditlhaka (reed/pipe) and they joyfully filled the Balete kgotla with soulful sounds.

Playing in unison, the elderly men could play different sounds ranging from soprano, alto, tenor and bass. As they blew the air into blowpipe Ditlhaka received a lot of appreciation from the crowd. They have an album out called ‘Mmajong’.
