GRATEFUL: Lesokwane
275 artists to get monthly food hampers until February · Half a million splashed out on the initiative
After a slight delay, an initiative initiated by the Botswana Musicians Union (BOMU) with the help of the Indian community and Choppies, has finally been rolled out.
For 275 local artists, it means festive will take on a slightly sweeter taste as they receive P600 food vouchers for the next three months.
The vouchers are valid for all Choppies stores in the country.
Speaking at the handover ceremony last Tuesday, the Indian Business Community Chairperson, Gaurang Dalia explained the scheme was the society’s way of assisting the only industry which remains shutdown since Covid-19 struck.
