Despite being held for the first time, the event did not disappoint as attendants flocked the park to witness the proceedings of the day. The purpose of the event was to celebrate ‘thobo’ of 2016 and also to thank God for the substantial rain showers. Among those who graced the event were the town’s mayor Molosiwa Molosiwa, local councillors and Central District councillors.
Selebi-Phikwe town clerk, Godimo Garegope said that this was their idea as council employees. “We had a wellness programme and socialisation or team building as part of the programme, so we decided that every employee who has ploughed to contribute what they have harvested, be it watermelons, a bag of sorghum or anything hence having this event,” he said, adding that the the event was also meant to give people love, get to know each other better as well as thank God.
