Over three hundred hopefuls pitched up to audition for a slot in the short films project being conducted by the Geraldine Roche drama (GRD) as part of efforts to empower and educate local communities in Bulawayo through drama and film.

Statistics released by Famine Early Warning Systems show that at least 37% of the urban populace in Zimbabwe require food aid and this dire situation means that about 1.7 million people in urban areas will go hungry.

The Geraldine Roche Drama (GRD) competition champions, Langelitsha Arts, brought their three-month tour of Bulawayo to a halt with yet another breath taking, but educative performance at Emganwini shopping centre on Bulawayo western outskirts.

Recently staffers from the Australian Embassy in Zimbabwe, visited Emganwini’s Greenfields project where they were briefed on the benefits derived by locals from the Sally Foundation-funded market garden development.
