Botswana is set to host one of the world’s largest faith-based conventions as Jehovah’s Witnesses return with their annual international series, this year themed “Pure Worship!”

The three-day conventions, free and open to the public, will be held at the University of Botswana Sports Arena in Gaborone and the Adansonia Hotel in Francistown across three weekends in August. The gatherings are expected to draw over 2,200 attendees in Gaborone alone, providing not just spiritual enrichment but also an economic boost to local businesses through hospitality, retail, and transport services.

The Gaborone sessions will be conducted in Setswana from August 8 to 10, followed by an English program from August 15 to 17. The Francistown convention will take place August 22 to 24, accommodating Tswana, Kalanga, and Sign Language audiences.
