KAROI- Some of Zimbabwean artists are poor and laughing stock in the society after they failed to prepare for the future besides their popularity.

Addressing artists who participated during Hurungwe Arts Festival here, Savanna Trust official Daniel Maphosa bemoaned the behavior of some artists who are always on ‘’stage’’ even in real times.

‘’It is disheartening that some artists hardly plan what must be done and never plan for their future. Many are enjoying popularity but have nothing to show off as their families are starving. Why do you want to remain a stage character? If you are uncaring husband on stage, you take it to the real life scenario. It is a pity that many of us are making drama actors laughing stock in the art industry. Few of us can manage their time and take acting as a past time. We want committed artist who take this as a profession’’ said Maphosa.

He added that some artists are failures in life as they lack vision in their plans.

‘’Any individual or organization must have a vision and mission to plan in advance and achieve their goals. None of us has a vision to be the laughing stock of the society but if you do not manage your time you remain failures and laughing stock. It is pathetic that some bands do not have costumes that give them a brand, ‘’ Said Maphosa.

However some artists appealed to organizations such as Savanna Trust to assist them on time management skills in arts industry as they strive to make a positive input in future.

Maphosa agreed that he is prepared to impart his knowledge and skills to upcoming drama groups so that they remain professional.

‘’I am committed to see the art industry doing its best and the artists living a better after their best days in the profession’’ said Maphosa.

Hurungwe based Baptism of Fire mooted the Hurungwe Arts Festival showcase and was assisted financially by Culture Fund with the aid of Sweden embassy in a bid to promote talented musicians, poets and traditional dancers among other in outlaying areas.

KAROI- Hurungwe Arts Festival must open new avenues for artists as they pursuit of showcasing their talents and the community must remain united to achieve the goals.

Officially opening the two day music, dance, poetry and theatre extravaganza at the weekend in Karoi, Hurungwe administrator Tsana Chirau said art ‘’remains a form of entertainment and source of employment’’ for youths.

‘’We are grateful that when Baptism of Fire mooted Hurungwe Arts Festival idea, it was not meant for them as a drama group but for the community and the nation at large. The event must open new avenues for upcoming artists so that they are rewarded in the long run in life. We welcome you to Hurungwe where art is a form entertainment and employment. We look forward to see those involved taking it seriously. Those showcasing their talents must be rest assured that they have our commitment to uplift them wherever the need arises’’, Said Chirau.

She added that traditional leaders including Chief Kazangarare under which Karoi town falls were happy to be associated with the success of Hurungwe Arts Festival.

‘’Traditional leaders here are happy that they will interact with the youths so that they maintain the values of humanity. We are happy that the spirit of togetherness will continue as we celebrate the new born child in our family called Hurungwe Arts Festival whose identity is about culture diversity, creativity and exposure. This must not be a one off thing but we appeal to our sponsors Culture Fund to continue helping us as a committed community when the need arises’’ she said.

The Hurungwe Arts festival is the brainchild of Baptism of Fire who got financial support from Culture Fund and it’s the first of its kind in Mashonaland West province.

It drew participants from Bulawayo, Kadoma, Harare as well as rural outskirts that showcased their plays, poems, traditional dances and jokes from Uncle Richie and Doc Vickella outsmarting each other.
