CHIPINGE-BASED Talent Falls shrugged off stiff competition to emerge
as winners of the 2014 Chibuku Road to Fame Manicaland provincial
finals held in Rusape on Saturday at Vhengere beerhall.
They are now set to represent the province at the national finals in
the capital at a date yet to be announced.
For their effort, they walked away with 000.
Neighbours' Sons from Mutare came second and they were duly rewarded
with 0, while Mutare Polytechnic scooped the third prize and went
home 0 richer.
Leader of the group Joseph Bhasera was ecstatic on winning the first
prize, adding that they were now looking forward to also winning at
the national finals.
"It was a tough competition, but we are generally happy for winning
the first prize. It is sheer hard work and thanks to God for finally
rewarding us. We have been taking part in this event for the past
years, but without winning the first prize," he said.
"Thanks to Culture Fund for pledging instruments to us because we
managed to conduct our rehearsals without hiccups. Before that, we
were hiring instruments and we were charged per hour, but this has
since changed."
National Arts Council of Zimbabwe Manicaland provincial manager Jonah
Muchayi said he was very happy with the level of competition, saying
Talent Falls was a talented group that would not just make numbers at
the national finals.
Muchayi said he was generally excited with the level of the
competition as every group performed extremely well and he believed
that it was very tough to choose the winner.
"From the Makoni community, the turnout was very impressive. It had
been about four years since we had hosted such an event in Rusape. And
one thing I was happy about is that we had groups from remote areas
who participated in the event and it's good for exposing their
talent," he added.
Muchayi said the winners were originally from Chipinge, but these days they were conducting their rehearsals in Mutare.
