MBABANE – The fifth edition of the Makoti Festival has urged patrons to come dressed in their respective traditional attire.

The festival Director Thembinkosi Mthethwa said since the festival is curated around tradition, what better way to celebrate it other than dressing traditionally. “We know that our traditional attire is very beautiful and we also have an amazing culture in the country. By adorning our imvunulo, this will show tourists the beauty of our attire and also teach them more about it. Since there are also other countries involved in the festival, we hope that the other nations will also come dressed in their traditional wear and there will be an exchange of cultural values,” he said.
