This year’s National Arts Merit Awards (NAMA), which was
scheduled for Saturday, has been moved to next month.
Youth Minister Kirsty Coventry said: “As a ministry,
together with our parastatal the National Arts Council of Zimbabwe, we took the
decision based on the current national situation of the effects of the natural
disaster, cyclone Idai that have claimed lives and vastly destroyed properties.
“Cognisant that we are a culture Ministry that values
unhu/ubuntu, we saw it noble that we move the awards ceremony and join the rest
of fellow Zimbabweans in assisting the affected families.
“My Ministry sincerely apologises to the sector,
corporates, events manager AB Communications, the public and nation at large
for inconveniences caused by this development.
We assure that the ceremony will be held accordingly as had been planned
at Harare International Conference Centre.”
