GROWING up athletics relay was my favourite race especially the 400 by 400- metre mena��s relay.
I never ran the races but when cheering I would run on the side track sometimes almost faster than the athletes themselves. Come the real deal I swear a tortoise would fancy its chances with me. Hence todaya��s topic is about collaboration.
One Brett Craig who had spent over 20 years as an advertising executive wrote a book titled Collaborate or Die.
Ita��s one of the best sellers in terms of creative talk and could pass for an arts success bible. In his book he emphasises the power of collaboration and how far it goes in building brands. So I always get excited when a collaboration comes to fruition.
On 11 May at the British Council office in Bulawayo one unique collaboration will be launched. Ita��s called Collabo-writers and is co-ordinated by Multi Media Box boss Kudzai Chikomo who has films showing on Mzansi Magic.
A call was made by Multi Media Box who partnered with British Council and German Society of Zimbabwe in creating the Fiction Book. A relay authoring contest for young Zimbabweans between the ages of 18 and 35 was held. The organisers received 252 entries from all over Zimbabwe and selected the best four.
The winning writers are Lindiwe Dhlakama, Takatso Sibanda, Rejoice Moyo and Banabas Karuma. They were commissioned by Collabo-writers to write a book using relay authoring.
About Lindiwe Dhlakama, Harare
As a writer I am aware of the misrepresentation that African nations, brown-skinned people and women have because too many of our stories are not narrated by us. My goal is to authentically and sincerely tell our stories and those of people who cannot tell their own.
