Mission
Preserve Botswana's traditional games through technology. Technology should become another way to keep culture alive, not replace the traditional way these games are played.
About TswanaPlay
Culture, kept in play.
TswanaPlay is being built to make Botswana traditional games accessible to anyone, anywhere—so people can discover them, learn them, play them, and share them.
Vision
TswanaPlay aims to grow into a large platform where thousands of people can explore Botswana games, understand their history and rules, and play them online—including people discovering Botswana culture from outside the country.
Where we are now
TswanaPlay is still growing. It begins with Mhele, with more Botswana traditional games planned gradually. Mhele is the first step in a much larger vision.
Culture + Technology
Technology does not have to replace tradition. It can help preserve it.
Traditional games can move into new formats while keeping their identity, history, and cultural meaning. A digital platform is simply one more way for the next person to find them.
