The organisers announced the programme change in a statement issued this morning, confirming that Limpopo Boy would no longer be part of the event, which is being held in association with BBS Bank. “The organisers of the Creators Assembly, in association with our sponsor BBS Bank, wish to inform stakeholders and attendees that Limpopo Boy will no longer be part of the inaugural Creators Assembly,” the statement reads. The announcement comes less than 24 hours after a purported sex tape involving the content creator became a trending topic on social media, sparking widespread discussion among internet users.
However, the organisers did not directly link Limpopo Boy’s removal to the viral video and did not provide reasons for the programme change. They said a replacement was being considered. “A suitable replacement is currently being considered, and further details will be communicated in due course,” the statement said. The Creators Assembly said the change would not affect its broader mandate of contributing to the growth and development of Botswana’s creative economy. “The Creators Assembly remains committed to its mandate of contributing to the growth and development of Botswana’s creative economy, and BBS Bank is proud to support this important initiative,” the organisers said. The inaugural event is expected to bring together creatives, stakeholders and industry players under the theme “Creativity, The New Currency.”
