Freedom Square Business Center came alive as Bana Ba Masabata Traditional Group took to the stage to celebrate Heritage Day with their vibrant and energetic traditional Basotho dances.
The group, known for preserving the rich cultural traditions of the Basotho people, captivated the crowd with their performances of Ditolobonya and Mokgibo dances. These dances, deeply rooted in Basotho heritage, not only entertained the large audience but also reminded them of the importance of cultural preservation and the beauty of where they come from.

“We are proud to share our culture with everyone, especially the younger generation,” said Thathowatsi Rabolila performers from Bana Ba Masabata. “These dances are a way of keeping our traditions alive and reminding people of our roots.”
The event, held at the busy Freedom Square Business Center, saw people from all walks of life come out to join the celebration. It was a fitting tribute to Heritage Day, a day that encourages all South Africans to reflect on their diverse cultures and traditions.
