KNOCK KNOCK...WHEN REALITY KNOCKS

Kutenda Creations, founded by Sylvia Sanyanga hosts ladies breakfast meetings every first Saturday of the month.   Kutenda is an event management company specialising in décor, catering for corporate functions, social functions including school hot lunches, weddings etc.

According to Sylvia, we live in a busy world and women especially sometimes forget to give themselves some time out to just forget about all else and concentrate on themselves.  Unlike the usual business breakfast meetings Kutenda Creations speak on everyday life issues that affect women but also encouraging entrepreneurship amongst the women.


Speaker of the day was Dudu Manhenga-Muparutsa, an acclaimed contributor to the rich music history of Zimbabwe. For more than twenty years she has filled the airwaves and performed in Zimbabwe and on grand stages all over the world. A mother, daughter, sister, she is a vibrant activist in defence of the poor and voiceless; and a strong supporter of women everywhere. She is a powerful worshiper and prayer warrior; a tiller of the earth who cultivates her gardens to share food with the poor. As a singer, lyricist and composer, Dudu’s words have reached the world through music. Now, beyond the stage, she turns to the pages of God's written word and her voice ministers to many.


The main performance was provided by Tariro neGitare.  Tariro, is a vocalist and guitarist. She started playing the guitar at the age of 13 and has since become a rising star in the Zimbabwe music scene, sharing the stage with legendary African artists such as Oliver Mtukudzi and Ladysmith Black Mambazo. She is an avid collaborator, working and touring frequently with musicians from South Africa, Germany, Nigeria, and the UK. Tariro also created a platform for other solo artists called Wildfire Acoustic Nights, a music and poetry event that has been running for years through a partnership between her company Wildfire Africa and the Zimbabwe German Society. Additionally, she runs Business of Art workshops that promote artists to monetize their passion by learning valuable business skills.


Kutenda Creations ladies breakfast meeting is a space for women artists to perform, network with women from other various industries and sale their products too.
