Tiger boost for tourism

New Ziana

Zimbabwe’s tourism sector is set to benefit from the Kariba Invitation Tiger Fish Tournament to be held next week.

Many foreign competitors are expected to take part in the annual tournament, an official said on Monday.

In Zimbabwe, tiger fish have a wide distribution throughout Lake Kariba, the Zambezi River and its larger tributaries.

Tournament director Mr Rod Bennet told New Ziana that the 49th edition of the competition would run from October 4 to 6.

“A total of 150 teams will be participating, including 25 foreign squads vying for the trophy,” he said.

“The tournament has become a big social event on the Zimbabwean calendar with many new friendships being made,” he said.

Mr Bennet said the KITFT is the biggest sport-fishing event in Zimbabwe, whose ultimate angling goal is to catch the largest tiger fish.

He said tiger fish are unique and special because of their magnificent features.

“It has a ferocious set of razor sharp teeth enclosed by a bony head, black/blue lateral stripes and a bright yellow to red caudal fin completes the picture,” he said.

Kariba Mayor Nicholas Hwindiri said the event would offer renewed opportunities for the hospitality industry to showcase tourism products and facilities.

The tourism industry is one of the fastest growing in the world with Africa expected to record a growth rate higher than other regions.

The sector is expected to grow by 10 percent by the end of 2010. — New Ziana

TOK Zim rendezvous on cards - Newsday: Everyday News for Everyday People

TOK Zim rendezvous on cards - Newsday: Everyday News for Everyday People

Internationally acclaimed female reggae artiste Alaine Laughton and the famous dancehall group Touch of Klass, better known as TOK, are set to rock the local dancehall circuit in February next year.

Dancehall lovers can expect an overdose of romance as dancehall outfit TOK and reggae songbird Alaine are set to perform in the country at a Valentine’s Day celebration show dubbed The Love Letter Concert, on February 12.

“The show will be part of the first-time initiative by a group called Africa Entertainment Worx (AEX) to rebrand the country, not only to the rest of the world but Zimbabwe as well,” said AEX chief executive officer Michael Hill.

The show is scheduled to take place at the Harare International Conference Centre and tickets will be available soon in four categories, silver, gold, platinum and diamond.

Hill said this would be their first time to host an event with international acts and it would also be the artistes’ first time to perform in the country.

“Preparations for the show are already at an advanced stage as the contracts have already been signed and AEX are inviting sponsors to pitch in order to ensure a positive show experience and to make this the best show of 2011,” said Simbarashe Kakora, AEX chief operations officer.

He said they were negotiating the possibility of bringing more artistes for the same event including renowned ragga artiste Wayne Wonder and his wife Tammi Chynn.

Alaine made her breakthrough in 2005 with her single, No Ordinary Love, on Don Corleon’s Seasons Riddim and since then, she has been topping charts with songs like Deeper, Sacrifice, Chaka Chaka Love and Love Sound, a duet with Beres Hammond.

“The second act, Jamaican songtress Alaine Laughton, or simply Alaine, has managed to outlast her female dancehall counterparts and is known for such hits as Love, Loud and Clear, If I Give You Love and Without You,” said Kakora.

TOK is a dancehall group consisting of Alistaire “Alex” McCalla, Roshaun “Bay-C” Clarke, Craig “Craigy T” Thompson, and Xavier “Flexx” Davidson and are best known for such hits like Footprints, Gal You Ah Lead, Chi Chi Man and Eagles Cry.

Chi Chi Man in particular is controversial for its lyrical attacks on homosexuality, which many have claimed incite violence against people who practice it.

“We believe we have a role to play in being ambassadors of our own in creating a better Zimbabwe and we have decided to do this through entertainment,” said Kakora.
