Silent supporters: How men are driving the Doek & Slay movement

Showbiz Reporter

Organisers of the popular Doek & Slay networking event for women have expressed gratitude to men, who have emerged as the biggest supporters by buying the majority of the event’s tickets.

In a Facebook post, the organisers encouraged attendees to appreciate those making the event possible for them.
“It’s amazing to see that 80% of our Doek & Slay lifestyle ticket purchases so far are made by men who are thoughtfully buying tickets for their queens and sisters.
“We appreciate your role in helping these gentlemen understand the importance of this safe space for women.”

More men have been supporting the movement, with male artistes like Jah Prayzah, Freeman, ExQ, and Enzo Ishall delivering electrifying performances and thrilling the ladies at Doek & Slay events held across the country.

Doek & Slay is a vibrant community where women come together to connect, share good vibes, and uplift each other, with a strong focus on self-care, empowerment, and mutual support.

For a long time, women across Zimbabwe have yearned for such a space where they can unwind in a secure and inclusive environment, even bringing along young children when babysitters are unavailable.

Beyond relaxation, the event has proven to be a powerful networking platform, helping women establish connections that positively impact their businesses and personal growth.

The first edition of Doek & Slay in 2024 will take place in Kadoma on March 30, followed by Mutare on April 6, Harare on April 13, and Gweru on April 27.
