FORMER University of Zimbabwe assistant lecturer in the Department of Theatre Arts, Innocent Mwapangira has formed a youth association, Chaminuka Arts, meant to promote local arts by nurturing emerging talent.

The association’s communications manager, Thelma Machinga yesterday told NewsDay that the organisation, which was named after the historic chief Chaminuka, seeks to bridge the unemployment gap by grooming young talented artists, so that they can earn a living through art.

“Chaminuka Arts is a registered non-profit making youth association, whose major goal is to empower young people, thereby, bringing positive changes in their lives through arts based activities,” she said.
