The Festival, hosted by National Youth Development Trust, brought together artists
from Bulawayo, Gwanda and the surrounding areas; these included Sithandazile, Protest crew, Ghetto Smurfs, GDA, Mgcini Nyoni among other artists who thrilled audiences with informative artistic presentations.
The play ‘1983 and Years After’ staged by the Protest crew was the main attraction and was hailed by the audience as a precise depiction of what happened during
Gukurahundi.
Various stakeholders who attended the event said it was commendable to see young people uniting through ‘world class performances’ of art to foster a culture of peace.
The Regional chairperson of the Women’s Coalition of Zimbabwe, Lorraine
Sibanda, encouraged the youths to cultivate and embrace a culture of unity and peace if they are to realize growth and development in their communities.
