Top Southern African artistes open Hifa in style

TOP notch performances by some of Southern Africa’s top artistes, among them Oliver “Tuku” Mtukudzi, marked the official opening of Zimbabwe’s premier arts event, the Harare International Festival of the Arts (Hifa) on Tuesday night at the ZOL Main Stage at Harare Gardens.

The opening concert of this year’s edition of the six-day fete, which attracted a full house comprising mixed races, was staged under the theme Let Our Song Be Sung, and was directed by the multi-award winning duo of Steve and Bokani Dyer.

Although the show kicked off 30 minutes late, this did not dampen the party mood among the revellers, who braved the chilly weather.
