Festivals and Events in Botswana
The Maitisong Festival is held in the month of March every year in Gaborone. The festival is the biggest one week long festival of performing arts bringing plays, dance and orchestral concerts in Maitisong and non-stop Gospel, kwaito and Afro-pop shows to thousands of revellers in Old Naledi.
Culture of Botswana
Botswana doesn’t have much of a literary tradition; all that survives are ancient myths and poetry written in praise. Indigenous languages only started being written when Christian missionaries arrived in Botswana in the late 19th century. Indigenous tribal rituals are still being practiced today with cults holding their sway.
Аlcoholic drinks in Botswana
There are various traditionally produced alcoholic drinks. Bojalwa ja Setswana (the beer of Batswana) is brewed from fermented sorghum seeds. Other tribes, like Bakalanga, use lebelebele (millet). A commercially produced and packaged beer, Chibuku, brewed from either maize or sorghum, is a favourite drink particularly in the villages, towns, and in some parts of the city.
