Artists celebrate both Easter and Independence Day across Zimbabwe this weekend. The country marks 45 years of freedom with events happening nationwide.
Gospel performer Dorcas Moyo plans hospital visits and concerts during the busy holiday period. Her team will donate items at Victoria Chitepo Hospital before heading to shows in Harare and Mutare. Many musicians appreciate how independence lets them express themselves freely through their art.
Sculptor Dominic Benhura sees similarities between both holidays - they represent making sacrifices for others. He chose to work through the weekend, creating new pieces in his workshop. Actress Sipilisiwe Kaikeni will spend time at church reflecting on her career and personal journey. She also plans to model fashion designs at a special event on April 19.
Miss Rural Zimbabwe founder Sipho Mazibuko organized a large crochet competition spanning several provinces. About 200 people signed up to display traditional crafts as part of the dual celebration. The contest highlights cultural heritage during this important weekend when national pride meets spiritual observance.
