“It is critical to preserve our culture as well as learn some cultural lifestyles from neighbouring countries.
“We therefore came up with the idea and we are happy with the take off. Young people are our main targeted audience and the centre will provide a platform for artistes and artists to showcase their visual and performing prowess.

“The cultural centre will also help boost domestic tourism since it contributes significantly to the national fiscus as well as creating employment and placing Mutare on a regional and international map in terms of cultural preservation and promotion of music and dance,” he said.
