I think it’s always fantastic when a Zimbabwean does well at international level and whatever support we can give as a nation we should.
Here’s a great opportunity for us to support a talented daughter of Zimbabwe. Rumbi Katedza’s film, Asylum, is up for an award (RCI Migrations People’s Choice Award) and can only win if we vote.
I’ve watched the film- over my dial up connection- and I LOVED it. It’s just under 5 minutes long so it won’t take much of your time. I may be a bit biased but I know where I’m putting my X.
Is this rigging? Stop asking so many questions. Log on to the website, watch it and decide for youself! Danke!

She had wanted to make it through to the next round of A Academy but had been unsuccessful.

Pamberi Trust invites you to a Literary Discussion on Thursday 21 August 2008 at The Book Café, (5.30-7pm).
“The novel STRIFE by Shimmer Chinodya explores the tension between the power of tradition and the forces of modernity. What are the role models for men in today’s society?

In 2007 she joined the Zimbabwe College of Music Ethnomusicology programme, in her search for a better understanding and deeper relationship with music. Her studies in the programme involve focus on ethnic African instruments, and she soon started playing nyunga-nyunga (mbira). (more…)

Finally!!! That is the thought that imprinted the expression on my face when I met Lovemore Kambudzi. Finally. After seeing his paintings for so many years I met the man who turns daubs of colour- always on large canvases- into realistic depictions of scenes from every day Zimbabwe life.
