ARTISTES in Mutare have been hailed for using their creative talents to raise awareness about pollution, while actively contributing to environmental protection efforts.
Speaking during the Green Earth Action Day commemorations held on Wednesday morning at Moffat Hall, Mutare District Development Coordinator, Mr Tendai Kapenzi, said protecting the environment is not merely a policy choice or development goal, but a constitutional obligation and national duty that citizens should embrace with pride.
The event was held under the theme: “A creative fusion of visual art, music and poetry – driving positive change and initiating dialogue through community engagement and collaborations for a cleaner, greener earth.”
Mr Kapenzi commended the organisers, Mutare Tales, for using dance, poetry and music to transform global environmental concerns into meaningful local action.
“In the spirit of leaving no one behind, we recognise that youth are not just beneficiaries, but primary architects of the country’s success. Empowering them requires more than policy — it requires giving them a voice. By merging creative disciplines with community engagement, we are fostering a culture of sustainability and demonstrating that when art meets advocacy, it becomes a powerful force for driving the positive change we seek for a cleaner, greener Mutare,” he said.
