PRESIDENT Mnangagwa will officiate at the Bulawayo Arts Festival whose inaugural event last year reached audiences in 45 countries.
Speaking during a post Cabinet brief on Wednesday evening, Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister Monica Mutsvangwa said:
“This year’s Festival is scheduled to be held from 2 to 5 June, 2021. The main festival, which will largely remain digital due to Covid-19 control measures, will feature two main high-profile programmes, namely: the launch of the Bulawayo Urban Heritage and Eco-Tourism Programme (3 June 2021); and the Creative and Cultural Industries Conference (3 – 4 June 2021).
“Government is pleased to announce that His Excellency the President will officiate at the event. This demonstrates the Second Republic’s commitment to the promotion and development of the creative and cultural industry,” said Minister Mutsvangwa. — @nqotshili
