Taung- North West Art,Sports and Culture department is still mum on the issue of North West Cultural Calabash that is scheduled to take place in Taung.

The Annual Cultural Event has been taking place for more than a decade even though it has its own challenges.

The  Cultural Calabash was allegedly been moved to Moruleng last year,but it did not receive the same reception it always endure in Taung.

However this issue of being moved was vehemently denied by its co-ordinator, mr Mogashoa when we spoke with him back then.

“The North West Cultural Calabash was never moved from Taung. In fact it did not take place last year as we still sorting some other issues like sponsors and partners” he said.

Mogashoa guaranteed that the annual event will take place in Taung as planned,however he couldn’t outline some plans as he claimed it was too early.

We contacted Mogashoa on Saturday to give us more details regarding the event.

“I think the relevant person to speak to is MEC of Sport, Art & Culture in te province” Mogashoa said.

Our crew contacted the acting Director of Communication from MEC office mr Vusi Kama who was not in the office by then as he had some other commitments and he promised to shed more light on Tuesday(Today).

“Unfortunately I am not in the office and I promise to get back to you tomorrow(meaning today) when i arrive back in the office” He said.

However our crew’s attempt to get more details about the Calabash issue proved futile as again mr Kama was not yet back in the office.

“I did not manage to get to the office and I will send you all details first thing in the morning. I will speak with organisers first” he said.
