SA based Zimbabweans celebrate women's month in style

South African based Zimbabweans celebrated the women's month in style when they headed to Hillbrow Theatre for a Women's Day Festival organised by Bayethe Promotions on Saturday 09 August. The event which started at around 2pm, is held in line with South Africa's women day holiday.

It was not all about music and stage performances, infact the Programme Directors team at some point transformed to motivational speakers who did justice in terms of unpacking the theme of the day and purpose of gathering.

The major highlights of event included the dazzling performances by groups like Izwi Lesiphephelo, ikhwezi, Insukamini and individual poets. In total, 24 groups and two poets performed.

The MC trio composed of Mxotshwa Ndebele,  Cannicious Nkala and Mcasisseli Gwaza,  did entertain the audiences as they continuously gave away some comic yet informative acts that kept the audiences glued on their chairs forgetting their usual social media chats.

The C.E.O of Bayethe Media, Mxolisi Ncube in his welcoming remarks thanked everyone and highlighted the major role played by women both in the family and the society. He said the event came upon realising such a pivotal role played by women in his own personal life, "I have been personally married for 16 years and have two daughters' in my life. These females including my own mother have helped me to be what I am today," said the multi-award winning journalist.

Generally, most speakers hinted on the ideology of taking a family as a microcosm of the macrocosm of the main society,where by motherhood must be celebrated.

Commenting on the vent, the Promotions Manager, Mcasiseli Gwaza said, "We would like to thank all who made this day a success, however we apologise to other artists who did not ascend on stage despite being on the line-up,  it was not but choice but the measure was necessitated by time constraints."

"We would like to thank our partners like Green world, Unjani clinic and Eco cash for their participation," Continued Gwaza.

The partners involved, although not reached for comment, were reportedly happy with their business relationship with Bayethe Media.

When asked about the artists squabbles which started to grow outside the venue, Gwaza said, "In our next edition of Bayethe we will strictly focus on gospel and poets only, plus we will seek more sponsors so that we can have a free entrance to accommodate everyone."

Hooking up with one of the MCs Mxotshwa Ndebele said, "the event was well organised and attended, but the damage of the notice board inside Hillbrow theatre remains a concern especially considering future venue bookings. Maybe there is a need for some workshops on our artists," he said

By virtue of this women's day festival,Zimbabwean darling find themselves walking tall in the mainstream of global 'women with pride.'
