Edith WeUtonga finally received an award after 18 years of nominations and disappointments. 

She was named the Best Alternative Act at the Bulawayo Arts Awards. “After all that I’ve done, my music has been nominated many times at the Zimbabwe Music Awards and NAMAs, but I haven’t won anything.

“It goes to show the struggles we as female artistes face, that no matter how good you are, it’s not good enough in the eyes of some. Getting recognition for female artistes is something you have to fight for. You always have to fight for space to perform, so this award is significant for my career.”
