Culture Warriors Storm Into Chibuku Neshamwari Finals

The Mufakose based traditional dance group Culture Warriors will represent Harare at the Chibuku Neshamwari National finals set for Bulawayo in August after emerging winners from a pool of 13 other groups.

The Mufakose group played the Dinhe dance to walk away with $300 prize money followed by another Mufakose based group Dedza whose Chewa dance saw them walk away $200 richer.

Third position went to Glen Norah based Pasi Chigare group who won $150.

In an interview with 263Chat leader of Culture Warriors, Peter Munjodzi Mhumhi said “after spending a lot of time working with other groups, I thought of creating my own group which qualified to the finals in 2010 and for the past 6 years we have been working on this project which made us have a ticket to the finals also.”

Munjodzi Mhumhi is confident that his group will make it in the finals.
