NEW: Set aside a day for indigenous fashion – NACZ

Online Reporter

ZIMBABWE is currently revelling in festivities of the ongoing Culture Month, which will be officially launched by President Mnangagwa at Rusununguko Clinic in Chiredzi, Masvingo province, on May 22.

The National Arts Council of Zimbabwe (NACZ) has since encouraged schools and companies to set aside a day to promote indigenous fashion.

“During this period, schools and employers must contribute to culture by setting aside a day to promote indigenous fashion and creatively come up with ways to motivate the best-dressed individuals,” said NACZ.

“In communities, churches may as well dedicate a Saturday or a Sunday for African wear and recognise the best-dressed individuals or couples or family to ignite interest and excitement thereof.”

The launch of Culture Month is expected to draw exhibitors and artists.

A musical gala has also been planned.

NACZ and the Ministry of Sport, Recreation, Arts and Culture have for years celebrated cultural diversity.
