Boipuso Celebrations
Boipuso Celebrations
Boipuso — Botswana Independence Day — is the most important cultural celebration for Batswana across the world.
At BAVA, this day is more than an event. It is a moment of unity, national pride, and thanksgiving.
Each year, we bring the Batswana community in Victoria together to honour our heritage, celebrate our journey as a nation, and reconnect with the spirit of home.
Boipuso brings us together in colour, culture, music, food, tradition, and joy — reminding us that no matter where we are, we remain Batswana.
