Forget about beach party in Tlokweng

Last year, the event was moved to Tlokweng from its traditional venue, the Lion’s Park, after the organisers overrode protests from Batlokwa tribal authorities through a last minute court order. However, Gaborone has sworn that the party  or any such “nonsense” will never be staged in Tlokweng again.

The deputy paramount chief said the 2014 edition was the first and last time for such events to be held in Tlokweng. He told the government not to allow such events to take place because they could harm the country’s reputation. “Beach party! What is that? That is utter nonsense and why should women undress at night! What is a Beach Party when we do not even have beaches in the country,” he told The Monitor on Friday.
