This year it is held under the theme: ‘Ku lyitumererera muzavalyiro ne lulyimi lweetu (Promoting and celebrating our dress code and language)’.
A member of the publicity team, Kabelo Kgakololo, told GiG they expect the Veekuhani from Boteti, Gumare, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe to gather at Kavimba Cultural Site on 23rd September.
He revealed that since his coronation in December 2021, Veekunae leader, Munitenge Liswaani Sinvula III has focused his energies on uniting his fragmented tribe across Botswana and Southern Africa.
