About this Project
A TibaKalanga Annual Cultural Event
Nine villages in Ward 6, Bulilima District, Matabeleland South Province in Zimbabwe have battled to take part in the Miss TiBaKalanga Beauty Queen Contest 2022.
The 2022 Miss TiBaKalanga Beauty Queen Competition will take place at the TG Silundika Cultural Community Centre, the TGSCCC on Wednesday, the 5th of January 2022.
The TGSCCC issued an invitation to villages across the district to participate in the competition back in January 2021 and immediately received an expression of interest from more than 9 villages that form a cluster around the cultural centre. While other villages remain interested, logistical issues have slowed down their ability to participate in the first phase of the competitions.
Following their registration, the villages through their Village Head were then requested by the TGSCCC to identify and nominate enthusiastic individuals would serve as coordinators in their respective villages. The coordinators’ primary responsibility is to identify, recruit and train models in their local areas. Many of the nominees were already serving as members of the centre’s Management Committee. The centre then organized a workshop for the coordinators to ensure everyone was up to date with what they need to be working on.
