Many thronged Jwaneng Diamond Mine Hall on December 8 to witness the brilliant performances by Botswana Defence Force (BDF) bands.

The BDF Bands in Concert Style is an annual event consisting of different BDF bands from around the country to raise funds for charity.

The concert attracted masses who did not regret their time and money spent after being treated to a variety of musical items.

They enjoyed the well-rehearsed and humorous different dance moves pulled by army men and women.

Councillors and members of the community sang along to the various tunes offered by the bands in the evening of December 8.

Without prior knowledge that it was a BDF concert, one would not have guessed given the style, skill and talent displayed by the military men and women, whom when on duty display impeccable demeanor.

Naturally, any good piece of music is likely to prompt one to dance and many got up on their feet and danced to the beats of the bands.

The BDF, through its bands wing engages on an annual national tour, where the bands perform in major cities and towns to raise funds for charity.

They donated P20 000 to Jwaneng Teen Club. ENDS
