HIFA promises superb festival

ORGANISERS of Zimbabwe’s premier arts showcase, the Harare International Festival of the Arts (Hifa), have promised a superb festival despite challenges they have faced as a result of the country’s economic hardships.

Speaking to NewsDay on the sidelines of a press briefing at a local hotel on Tuesday, Hifa founder and artistic director Manuel Bagorro said his organisation would put up a splendid show despite the harsh economic meltdown Zimbabwe is experiencing.

“We had a challenging environment in our programming as funding in terms of corporates has been a challenge,” Bagorro said.
