Celebrating Africa, Living Our Heritage | Africa Day at Metropolitan Botswana

Colleagues from Botswana, South Africa, and Zimbabwe came together to share their traditions and what makes them proudly African. Conversations centred on our connection as African nations, how our cultures intertwine, how we relate, and how we are One Africa from the same Mother and Father.
Through cultural games, proverb translations, and learning from one another, we discovered that although our languages may differ, our values, wisdom, and sense of community remain deeply connected.
One of the dayโs highlights was the exciting ๐๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐๐ง ๐
