As it is a norm annually, multitudes of people of all ages thronged the National Stadium in Gaborone on Saturday as Botswana Defence Force (BDF) celebrated its 47th anniversary.

BDF Day remains one of the most popular events in the country's calendar as it continues to pull sizeable military enthusiasts.

For some reason, the different activities often associated with the day never seem to grow old and boring for the fans, who just cannot get enough of the variety of entertainment dished out by military personnel. Some displays make a comeback every year for the celebrations. The acts still remain a hit for both the young and the old. For example, the BDF clowns will remain one of the fans' favourites and the main ingredient in spicing the gracious event. President Mokgweetsi Masisi graced the event in a colourful military parade to celebrate the army's 47th year of existence accompanied by First Lady Neo Masisi.
