Dwindling Domboshaba bothers Kalanga elders

The 18th edition of the celebrations was held on October 1st at the usual venue at the foot of the Dombosahaba hills. The festival was held under the theme: ‘Preserving Bakalanga culture for the present and future generations’.

The annual festival is organised by the Domboshaba Cultural Trust (DCT). This year’s edition attracted small numbers of cohorts and the continuing declining numbers is a threat to the existence of the festival, which has left the Bakalanga elders discontented. Performing groups are also on decline with this edition attracting a few cultural groups.
