Kennedy Mayeso Founder of Retswakae foundation said that the sole purpose of the event was not just to celebrate the cultural day but to create a platform for different organisation to impart information and allow the people access to the information
“We didn’t want to be the only organisation to address the people, we wanted them to have the information within reach.”
Mayeso has grieved disappointment at the event as it did not leads to expectations, The turnout was not exactly how he had wished “We faced challenges with sponsors pulling out last minute, we struggled as we aren’t funded by the government”, he is however, grateful to the sponsors that made good on their promises.
