THE famous Lesotho Tourism Festival has been rebranded as the Standard Lesotho Bank LETOFE lifestyle Experience.
When addressing the media on Tuesday, SLB marketing manager – public relations and sponsorships, Mr. Manyathela Kheleli, told the media this week that they had repackaged both the name of the festival as well as the line-up, on a three-year contract basis running up to 2024.
Mr Kheleli said their aim is “to see Standard Lesotho Bank LETOFE Lifestyle evolve and align with developments in the country’s entertainment industry and else-where. We want to see the festival excelling beyond the bounds of music to be a hotspot for all things food, drinks, music, art, and lifestyle like the Standard Bank Luju Festival in eSwatini and DSTV Delicious, which are already embracing this format, while still preserving the festival as a tourism event.
This year’s event will be held on 17 December at Thaba Bosiu Cultural Village.
This year’s event will be a showcase of some local entrepreneurs, Bonono and House of Thethana, where they will showcase their products.
Spetzo Pizza and Linford Vodka will take care of the dining and wining part to complete the experience.
