BY NIZBERT MOYO CHIEF Nyangazonke of Kezi, Matabeleland South province, yesterday urged Gukurahundi victims to speak out and air their views on the issue before their traditional leaders. The traditional leader told Southern Eye that there were several people who were affected by the 1980s brutal killings and torture in the Matabeleland and Midlands regions who need to open up and talk about the emotive issue in order to bring closure to it. His assertions came at a time Matabeleland civic organisations such as Habakkuk Trust have released sensational documentaries with victims narrating what they went through during the killings that claimed more than 20 000 lives. President Emmerson Mnangagwa, who is accused of being one of the masterminds of Gukurahundi massacres, recently met a faction of civil society organisations in a bid to ensure the survivors were issued with birth certificates. Mnangagwa also met chiefs in Bulawayo to deliberate on the way forward concerning the Gukurahundi issue. Government also wants to give the responsibility of exhumation and reburial of victims to traditional leaders. Chief Nyangazonke said the Gukurahundi issue needed closure through truth-telling. “The truth is that this issue has to be dealt with. It is not about who managed to resolve it, but this is an issue which has affected people for a long time in Matabeleland. We cannot speak for them, but we represent them and want to hear whatever they say or want,” he said. The traditional leader said people from the affected areas were of different cultures and customs, a fact that should be considered if the Gukurahundi issue was to be addressed. Mnangagwa is said to have tasked traditional leaders to lead the exhumation and reburial process amid concerns that he and his officials could not lead the process when they were implicated in the executions of civilians. However, analysts have said the gesture was not enough as the victims needed to be compensated. Between 1983 and 1987, the Zanu PF government led by the then Prime Minister, the late former President Robert Mugabe deployed the North Korea-trained Fifth Brigade to Matabeleland and Midlands provinces to deal with suspected ex-Zipra dissidents. l Follow NewsDay on Twitter @NewsDayZimbabwe

BULAWAYO-BASED up-and-coming RnB artists Kyla Blac said few people in the arts industry genuinely appreciated good talent as most of them would ask for favours in exchange for assistance. BY FREEMAN MAKOPA “I have met a lot of people in the music industry who say they would like to help me grow my career in exchange for unethical favours. There are very few out here who genuinely appreciate good talent,” she said. The 21-year-old songstress said there were many great musicians who were not getting exposure, adding that the coronavirus outbreak also posed a serious threat to up-and-coming artists. “There are a lot of creatives here. If we are talking about music. There are so many amazing rappers and singers getting little attention, designers and producers too. We have Boy Nino, Phana, Murphy Cubic, among others,” she said. “It was really difficult to work during the lockdown. I could not have studio sessions or video shoots which made it hard to put out content. It slowed down a lot for me.” Blac, who has just released an EP, said the project was meant to expose their talents. “Murphy Cubic produced the Only A Minute EP and the visuals were done by I shoot everything (Taku Dzino). We were looking for a way to show each of our talents and still have people wanting more so we thought one minute songs would do the trick and well that is where the title came from,” she said. “My target going forward is to be an international artist. I don’t want to just be known here in Zimbabwe alone, but I want to represent my country on the world stage.”

IT WAS the best of times, it was the worst of times. The famous line by Charles Dickens can be applied to developments this week relating to TT.

As Trinidad reeled from horrific murders, Tobago staged its second carnival, a celebration which by many accounts was a success.

Tobago bar proprietors, promoters, supermarket owners and wholesalers reported a 500 per cent increase in earnings from last year. Businesspeople in the entertainment sector said there was a 500 per cent increase in revenue. There were no reports of serious criminal disruptions. All the hotels were close to full capacity.

Even the inter-island ferry operated without a significant backlog, moving 178,419 passengers and 5,405 vehicles. People did not have problems travelling on Caribbean Airlines Ltd (CAL), with extra flights programmed in.

Officials believe the event may have come in under its $12.5 million budget. The Tobago Chamber of Industry and Commerce said no one lost out. It was virtually a perfect score.

But a carnival - whether in Tobago or Trinidad - is not carnival without hiccups, and there were a few of those too.

Pan Trinbago president Beverly Ramsey-Moore accused the police of 'disrespect' after traffic was allowed to pass through the early portion of the organisation's event on Friday. There was a late start to J'Ouvert on Saturday. And there were mixed views on the relocation of festivities from Crown Point to Scarborough, Tobago's capital.

Excellent reviews are one thing (and there have clearly been some dissenting voices in this regard), the viability of the Tobago festival another.

Is it now safe to assume the Tobago carnival is a permanent fixture on our cultural landscape? What, if any, will be its relationship to Trinidad's, which is, incidentally, to be launched this Saturday under the theme Come Back Home at the Queen's Park Savannah in Port of Spain?

These are straightforward questions, but they have thus far thrown up a whole set of lacouray from stakeholders.

Winston 'Gypsy' Peters, the ostensible chairman of the National Carnival Commission (NCC), says nobody asked for the NCC's help to stage the Tobago festival.

Dr Charleston Thomas, adviser in the THA's Division of Tourism, Culture, Antiquities and Transportation, says Tobago sought assistance from the NCC, but to no avail.

This is the second year of the Tobago carnival and the county is split evermore into two separate camps. Is this split to be maintained moving forward?

Nobody owns carnival. Whether separate or in synergy, the THA and the NCC, both of which have statutory interests in these festivals, need a more definite framework for co-operation so that they do not eat into each other.

Otherwise, our culture will pay the price, not the politicians.

Creamy crack, perms, relaxers — known by many polyonyms, chemical hair straighteners have been a fixture in the Black beauty space since their inception in 1909. But now, with the FDA proposing a ban on hair straighteners with formaldehyde, commonly found in relaxers, our relationship with the beauty treatment is once again being called into question. It is no secret that Black people have faced unmitigated discrimination regarding the appearance and texture of their hair. At their core, relaxers served as a means of assimilation, allowing us to mirror straighter hair textures at the cost of our natural hair pattern and, as we’d come to find out later, our health. Present-day relaxers have largely fallen out of favor due to links to endocrine cancers, the digitized natural hair movement of the 2010s, and the introduction of laws like the Crown Act, which make discriminating based on hair texture illegal. Recently, though, there has been a slight resurgence of relaxers on social...
