Step into a world where tradition meets celebration at the TiBaKalanga/We Are Kalanga Festival. This captivating two-day event is more than a festival; it’s a cultural journey that began with an international workshop in 2016, aimed at preserving and celebrating the Kalanga heritage. immerse yourself in captivating performances, cultural displays, and the essence of Kalanga heritage. It’s a unique opportunity to connect with a diverse community while preserving our traditions.

In 2015, the idea of the 10K Wrap Up & Run Road Race was born from a commitment to steer unemployed youth away from self-destructive activities. In a region where recreational opportunities are scarce, we aimed to introduce affordable, self-sustaining programs. The concept of a 10-kilometer race initially faced skepticism but eventually garnered youth support, along with other stakeholders in the district. This event unites the community in a day of family fun and support.

Our journey began with a heartfelt invitation extended to villages across the district. The Road to Miss TiBaKalanga, now unites eight vibrant villages. It’s a celebration of culture, beauty, and the aspirations of young women aged 16 to 25. To equip our coordinators for success, we organise comprehensive workshops, ensuring everyone is well-prepared for their essential tasks. The Road to Miss TiBaKalanga is not just a pageant; it’s a testament to the power of collaboration.
