Women's
Empowerment Film To Be Made In Mazabuka!
A locally
based graphics production company has been invited to enter a
locally made women's empowerment film entitled "Tears to Blessings",
in the Cape Town World Cinema Festival due to take place in mid
2006. Southern Screen Productions which comes under the Institute
of Graphic Communications, a Mazabuka based company (in
collaboration with Vilole Images, Lusaka) has been awarded a grant
by Sithenge/HIVOS Film and Television Market, a South African based
company, to start production on the film in the next few months. In
charge of production is Nector Mbilima, a media designer with the
Institute of Graphic Communications.
Chasing Tigers
After seeing
Tiger Woods dominating the British Open at St. Andrews recently - it
was a case of not being able to see the trees for the Wood - it's
no surprise to see talented young golfers around the world trying to
emulate him. He has made the game extremely popular with young
people since he started playing in the mid nineties.
Maz
has produced some of its own gifted young golfers over the years,
Simon Hobday being one, and more recently, Rodney Mundia, club golf
champ before he left for Jackson State University in Mississippi in
the U.S. In July, Rodney popped home for a visit to his parents
and also, on behalf of the University, attempted to identify young
Mazabuka players with potential to follow in his footsteps. He was
given a scholarship to JSU on the strength of his golfing prowess
and his academic ability and points out that if the academics are
not firmly in place, no matter how good the golfer is, he or she
will not be considered for sponsorship. The idea is to get a good
balance between academics and golf. Rodney, who graduated from
Maz's St. Edmonds Secondary school in 2000, is doing a Computer
Engineering degree at JSU and is now in his final year.
