About this Project

A TibaKalanga Annual Cultural Event

Eight villages in Ward 6, Bulilima District, Matabeleland South Province in Zimbabwe are set to hold their Beauty Pageant Competitions at the TG Silundika Cultural Community Centre, the TGSCCC on Saturday and Sunday 24 & 25 April respectively.

The competitions have had to be held in two separate days due to the overwhelming response from the local community, particularly girls (ages 16 – 25). Another contributing factor also is the need to adhere to Covid 19 social distancing protocols.

The TGSCCC issued an invitation to villages across the district to participate in the competition back in January and immediately received an expression of interest from more than 10 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.

The workshop was facilitated by an experienced Bulawayo-based fashionista Mr Nkosi Nkomo. The coordinators were trained in the following skills:

  • Modelling
  • Adjudication
  • Time management

The beauty pageant competition is only one of the many commemorative events planned to mark 40 years since the passing of the late TG Silundika the national hero whom the cultural centre is named after.
