Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 30991, member: 636"] People threw a big party for Kirsty Coventry on Wednesday night at Heritage Village. Stars, sports leaders, and music fans came together for amazing food and friendship. Everything worked perfectly - the lights, sound system, and program flow ran smoothly. Traffic made many guests arrive late, but the dinner exceeded what everyone hoped for. Many speakers praised Coventry with wonderful words about her work and character. Kirsty plans to leave Zimbabwe for her new job as head of the International Olympic Committee. The send-off celebration will stay in people's hearts for years. On March 20, she made history when she became the first woman and first African to win the IOC presidency. She won in just one voting round, taking over from Thomas Bach. Kirsty served seven years in Zimbabwe's Cabinet, making lasting changes to sports and culture across the country. The National Arts Council teamed up with other groups to create this special dinner. They celebrated what Zimbabwean artists and athletes have done and the team spirit that connects everyone. The night turned into an unforgettable experience, with many different talents sharing one space. Lieutenant General Anselem Sanyatwe, who recently became Sports Minister, attended as the main guest. He asked Coventry to keep representing Zimbabwe proudly wherever she goes. Famous musician Jah Prayzah agreed to perform last minute but still gave an amazing show. He played crowd favorites like "Chiremerera" and "Ndibikireiwo Doro Munyama Upere," which made fans cheer loudly. His backup dancers kept high energy throughout the performance. Everyone enjoyed watching Minister Sanyatwe and Coventry dance together with Permanent Secretary Nicholas Moyo, who later sincerely thanked everyone for coming. Kirsty showed her love for Zimbabwean music by dancing happily to Jah Prayzah's songs. She asked the new Minister to keep supporting young talented people. She talked about seeing incredible talent among Zimbabwean youth during her time as Minister. She stressed that creating the right environment helps these young people reach their dreams. She urged everyone to keep working hard for these young talents. The room filled with top artists, including Albert Nyathi, Hope Masike, Chirikure Chirikure, Sarah Dhliwayo, Peter Churu, and award-winning music promoter Partson Chimbodza. Soccer leaders like new Zifa president Nqobile Magwizi and Simba Bhora Football Club boss Simba Ndoro watched everything carefully. The event almost became a fashion show, with ladies wearing beautiful floor-length gowns matching the dress code. Most men wore fancy suits, looking very stylish. Friends gave Kirsty many gifts, including artwork and portraits, to remember this special night. [/QUOTE]
