BWAZ POETS TAKE PART IN NANGO 2009 EXPO.
Eight BWAZ poets put up a brilliant show during the 2009 National Association of NGO’s Expo in the Harare Gardens held from the 26th to the 29th August.
Neville Nyoni, “Flowchild” Cynthia Marangwanda, Nqobile Malinga, “The Cock” Simbarashe Jongwe, Samuel Mahuntse, Barbara Anderson (see her brief profile in the BWAZ Young Readers Review, Issue No 2), Tinashe Muchuri and Trust Mtekwa took turns to display poetical prowess in line with the theme assigned to each day of the four-day long event. On each day there was a theme which the poets were entitled to adhere to in their performances. On Wednesday 26th, the theme was "Social Justice Delivery", on Thursday 27th the theme was “Human Rights and Transitional Justice” and then on the 28th and 29th the themes were “Constitutional Reform” and “The Zimbabwe We Want” respectively. This year’s Expo ran under the theme “United to Rebuild Our Zimbabwe: Civil Society in Action”. NGO’s from across the country exhibited their products and met with the public to talk about their activities.
The Book Fair Pavilion in the Harare Gardens was a hub of artistic activities as different musicians, poets, drama groups, and dancers shared the stage with the People’s Forum that was part of the Expo where people were free to air their views on what they want in the new Zimbabwe Constitution. It was a peaceful get-together of the civil society community with the vision to rebuild Great Zimbabwe.
