ZIMBABWEAN women are taking the world by storm, and the National Arts Council of Zimbabwe (NACZ) could not be prouder.
From Germany to South Africa and Eswatini, local female artistes are proving that Zimbabwean talent knows no borders.
Leading the charge is songstress Mary Anibal, who is thrilling audiences across Germany with performances in Berlin, Munich, Ansbach, Kitzingen and several other cities.
Fellow musician Tariro Negitare is also making her mark in the European nation, winning hearts in Leutkirch, Munich, Starnberg and Chiemsee.
Meanwhile, award-winning rapper and cultural activist Lioness Shumbakadzi is flying the national flag high in South Africa, where she is attending the African Women in Music Summit.
Accompanied by fellow creative Sarah D, Lioness is lending her voice to discussions aimed at shaping the future of women in the music industry across the continent.
Not to be outdone, Mbira queen Hope Masike recently dazzled thousands of festival-goers at the internationally acclaimed MTN Bushfire Festival in Eswatini, earning praise for her electrifying performance.
Impressed by the women’s achievements, NACZ described them as trailblazers who continue to put Zimbabwe on the global map.
“These Zimbabwean women are leading, conquering and flying our flag higher than ever. We see you, and we salute you,” said the arts body.
Their success comes at a time when Zimbabwean creatives are increasingly attracting international attention, with female artistes proving they are among the country’s strongest cultural exports.
