The awards, hosted by Zimbabwe Human Rights Association (ZimRights), will be abuzz with Tuku entertaining guests when human rights activities from the country’s ten provinces are honoured for protecting and promoting human rights during 2014.
The red-tie event will also feature award winning artist Sulumani “Sulu” Chimbetu as well as Kaisa Dance group and Amawala, an all woman band.
ZimRights national director Okay Machisa confirmed that Tuku would serenade guests during the awards and anticipates an energy filled performance as Tuku has no notion of giving half-baked performances to fans.
“It is unfortunate for Tuku’s fans that this event is strictly by invitation, so they will have to miss his exuberant performance. I can, however, confirm that he will be coming from Harare together with Sulu just for this event,” he said.
“Local dance group Kaisa has prepared an exciting dance and Amawala, a band that comprises only women will also stage their presentation during the awards.”
The Community Human Rights Defender Awards are held as part of a continuation of the International Human Rights Day celebrations held annually on December 10.
