Tengenenge: unique craft centre

Sculptures at Tengenenge VillageOwn Correspondent We are all versed with the founding of the Tengenenge sculpture community in the mid1960s on a tobacco farm near Guruve during the oppressive colonial rule and the protracted war of liberation of Zimbabwe. It is no secret the immense contribution of the unique creative establishment’s mapping of today’s Zimbabwe stone sculpture practice and the marketing of the medium beyond the country’s geographical demarcations. Today we want to visit the state of the once thriving spiritual stone carving community as it is a natural phenomenon that things do not remain the same. It will be appropriate to have a brief interface with the history of the conceiving of the stone sculpture colony. It was during the pick of the unbearable colonial oppression and the fighting of the war of liberation of Zimbabwe by the indigenous people in the 60s when the then Southern Rhodesia now Zimbabwe was considerably richer in the British colonised region of Southern Africa. Southern Rhodesia provided cheap labour employment in its vast agricultural lands in the hands of overseas white colonists or foreigners handed to them on a silver platter as colonial privileges. Many nationalities from the region especially Mozambique, Zambia, the then Northern Rhodesia, Malawi the then Nyasaland, Congo and Angola migrated to Zimbabwe for employment.

Partial distribution of loan stalls Harare water projects

Ongoing water and sanitation issues continue to plague residents in the Zimbabwean capital, Harare. The issues are chiefly due to a lack of funds. The country has received a loan from China's Exim Bank. But only part of the funds have been disbursed so far, leaving several rehabilitation projects behind schedule.

Bulawayo in Zimbabwe, industrial capital, elegant city, tree-lined boulevards, shabby gentility

Bulawayo is in Zimbabwe. It is the second-largest city in the country, after the capital Harare, and until recently was 175, Zimbabwe's industrial capital. It is a relaxed, elegant city with tree-lined boulevards and an air of shabby gentility. However, it is worth a day or two--you can find good shopping and a worthwhile movie. It means to slaughter. This is the place where Mzilikazi had his first capital and used to slaughter his enemies.

The Train Museum with good historical exhibits. This includes Cecil Rhodes's private carriage. The cost is $1, and the old man running the show is friendly and eager to explain his museum.

The city's outdoor swimming pool is like something out of a 1920s movie, with its ranks of brightly painted changing booths. Lie on the grass and watch the cranes roost in the towering trees of the neighbouring botanic gardens.

Nompilo The Miraculous Visual Artist

Nimpilo Nkomo (a.k.a Noe) is a brilliant, progressive and amazing woman born with disability on the 25th of December 1980. Her mother passed on when Noe was still at her tender age and She was raised by her grandmother in Esigodini. Since 2002 the National Council of the Disabled Persons of Zimbabwe (NCDPZ) supported her financially and paid her secondary education at Daniko School in Harare and later at Mzilikazi Art and Craft Centre in Bulawayo. On completion of her course at Mzilikazi Art and Craft centre, Nompilo got a sponsorship from Mrs Lilian Fonds through NCDPZ and produced paintings and textiles. She managed to do her first 2 men exhibition with the late Mandla Ndlovu at the National Gallery of Zimbabwe’s outreach programme in Bulawayo.

In 2008 the outreach programme of the National Gallery in Bulawayo offered her a residency in the Gallery studios and facilitated her support from the Culture Fund Zimbabwe Trust which still supports her residency to date.

Noe has participated in various exhibitions in and outside Bulawayo, her art works capture diverse realities of the Zimbabwean stories, including religion and politics. Noe is so fragile and captivates the hearts and spirits of those who engage with her, she is also a strong activist to the people living with disability like her. She has the ability to use her feet to paint and create beauty unlike other “able boded people” who have no zeal to or discipline to explore their creative side.
