Molepolole renowned for its rich cultural heritage and vibrant traditions, is set to host a two-day cultural extravaganza featuring the premiere of 'Motswasele II', a theatrical page-to-stage adaptation, and the Dithubaruba Music and Cultural Festival at Kgosi Sechele I Museum, Ntsweng.

To be staged on September 6 and 7, the 'Motswasele II' premiere is part of celebrating Botswana's cultural heritage at the Dithubaruba Music and Cultural Festival. In response to pressing challenges that threaten the essence of Botswana's cultural landscape and contribute to societal decay, 'Motswasele II page-to-stage production' has been created as a transformative initiative. Brainchild and mastermind behind this fantastic showcase, Wame Waves Production, is dedicated to bridging the growing gaps in cultural knowledge and the sharing and consumption of such knowledge.

They aim to maintain a reliable media repository and upscale indigenous treasures nationwide in the face of unfettered erosion and erasure. Leveraging today's expansive social and mass media platforms, Wame Waves Production creates multi-faceted content, including short films, documentaries, social media content, and page-to-stage adaptations. These efforts educate, inform, and engage the public on cultural issues of local, national, and international importance. Their rigorous research, community involvement programmes, and national initiatives support culturally diverse lifestyles, echoing the sentiment: "Tshaba e senang ngwao, ke moka e e latlhegileng" (A nation without culture is a lost nation). As the production house of 'Motswasele II', they specialise in developing and adapting content into motion pictures, high-standard theatrical presentations and other art forms, focusing on preserving and celebrating cultural heritage.
