Establishment of UB Arts School applauded

One of the country's seasoned performing artists, Tjawangwa TJ Dema hailed it as 'long overdue and most welcome'. 

Dema said the ground work laid by community development theatre practitioners, performance poets, other artists and initiatives such as the British Council's Power in the Voice have over the last decade indicated that Batswana have a genuine interest and commitment to the arts.  Though he does not know the course content, Dema said VAPA will certainly equip future artists with the relevant skills in their chosen field.
