With the theme of Son of The Soil (SOTS) this year being, “Kwa re go yang - Re Ipela” various speakers reflected on how Batswana celebrate their culture during a Kitsong Cultural Workshop held at the National Museum last Friday.

The workshop hosted by Bana Ba Mmala Trust (BBMT) assembled cultural activists and thought leaders for an interactive engagement around cultural issues with topics that included celebrating dirwe tsa kgomo, cultural song and dance, the raising of a Setswana child and interrogating Sekgatla Koma.
