Mmakgodumo Festival starts Friday

The cultural festival, in its third year, promises to be bigger and better, and to cater for a diverse audience. The event, which goes by the theme “Ngwao Yame Mokgabo Wame” seeks to revive Ngwaketse culture through edutainment, which includes music, poetry, dance, dikgahela, mephato, and display of traditional machinery, used in a variety of traditional chores.

Mmakgodumo Heritage and Cultural Festival publicity director, Osenotse Mabote, explained this year the event will start on Friday with an urban night born fire, featuring DJs Sly, Crespo, and others. The Friday event will also feature motswako artist, HT Tautona, at Mmakgodumo Dam. Mabote said for this year, organisers have set-up a campsite where families and individuals can rent space for P150.00 a day, and enjoy activities as well as the scenery.
