Founder of the group, Tagarira Tatenda expressed hope the outfit will play a part in uplifting traditional dance to back in the days.
“I formed the group in 2024 and we now boast of young, energetic and talented 30 members. Our objectives include mainly preserving our culture and making the arts sector a professional field where artistes have a sustainable source of income.
“We performed Mhande because it shows how our ancestors used to communicate with Zame before whites came,” he said.
