IN JOHANNESBURG
ARE YOU CONSCIOUS THAT: South
African based Zimbabweans celebrated the women’s month in style
when they headed to Hillbrow Theatre for a Women's Day Festival
organised by Bayethe Promotions on Saturday 09 August. The event
which started at around 2pm, is annually held in line with South
Africa ‘s women day holiday.
It
was not all about music and stage performances ,infact the Programme
Directors' team at some point transformed to motivational speakers
who did justice in terms of unpacking the theme of the day and
purpose of gathering.
The
major highlights of event included the dazzling performances by
groups like Izwi Lesiphephelo, ikhwezi, Insukamini and individual
poets . In total ,24 groups and two poets performed.
The
MC trio composed of Mxotshwa Ndebele , Cannicious Nkala and
Mcasisseli Gwaza , did entertain the audiences as they continuously
gave away some comic yet informative acts that kept the audiences
glued on their chairs forgetting their usual social media chats.
The
C.E.O of Bayethe Media, Mxolisi Ncube in his welcoming remarks
thanked everyone and highlighted the major role played by women both
in the family and the society. He said the event came upon realising
such a pivotal role played by women in his own personal life , “I
have been personally married for 16 years and have two daughters’
in my life. These females including my own mother have helped me to
be what I am today,” said the multi-award winning journalist.
