Thank you @culturefundzim. We truly appreciate your continued investment in Zimbabwe’s creative sector. Your support has played a significant role in making the festival impactful, vibrant, and accessible to many.

@intwasa has brought in creatives, and consumers of art, mostly young people to celebrate cultural diversity and consume cultural productions. @culturefundzim funded by @euinzim provided a rare grant which allowed artists to enjoy autonomy and exercise their creative licence.

CONDOLENCE MESSAGE

It is with deep sadness that we at Intwasa Arts Festival join the arts community in mourning the passing of Babongile Sikhonjwa.
Babongile was not only a gifted artist, comedian, and storyteller, but also a vibrant soul whose voice and presence lit up every stage he graced. His contribution to the cultural and creative landscape of Bulawayo and beyond will forever be remembered.
