‘’We
are happy that Baptism of Fire are hosting Hurungwe Arts Festival and have seen
it fit to inform us. We are grateful that we are interlinking to maintain
better standards of life traditionally. As youths, we look forward to see you
working closely with elders. We will not give up assisting you when the need arises.
That is what we call humanity. Discipline is self behavior. It is good that
some rural folks never thought urbanites could organize such an event. Our new constitution
gives us the mandate to uphold the traditional values’’, he said.
