Independence Day: A national celebration turned children's fun affair

Saturday was not different as the country celebrated its 57th Independence Day, and as expected children dominated in attendance.

Years ago, Independence celebrations at the National Stadium were a hit across all age groups as everyone wanted to be a part of the occasion to celebrate the country's independence. Unfortunately in recent years the numbers have been going down, evidently reflecting that parents or grown ups have deserted the occasion and seemingly it has turned into a kids’ affair. This is despite the celebrations being officiated by President Mokgweetsi Masisi, and attended by his spouse Neo Masisi, Vice president Slumber Tsogwane, Minister of Youth, Gender, Sports and Culture, Tumiso Rakgare and other senior government officials.
