A young dancer named Reitumetse says that the show gave her a chance to gain exposure and recognition for her talent. In an interview with Arts & Culture, the event organiser Moletedi Ntseme alluded that it is important to work with local artists. ‘’We get to learn from their creativity; it’s like looking outside the box, what influences us, comes off like a market research,” he said. Ntseme, who is also a fashion designer, said his love for design was family rooted and he fully introduced himself to the industry in 2021. Furthermore, he stated that his next move is to take his fashion line and other local designers to the international market such as Paris Fashion Week. ”It is very insightful to see that Botswana has talent that can compete in the international space,” he concluded.
