The chairperson of the Domboshaba cultural trust, General Moetedi revealed that this year’s theme is; Mother tongue instruction and inclusive education adding that it was chosen to bring out Bakalanga people’s outcry to the Ministry of Education to consider using their language as a medium of instruction at schools especially in BaKalanga areas.
