The biggest
event in the Bulawayo calendar is only a month away and preparations are under
way. Today I got to attend the Bulawayo Arts Awards press conference held at
the Carne Casa Steakhouse which is being opened officially this Friday, but the
owner opened it up for the press conference.
The event
was scheduled for half past nine and to my delight it started exactly at that
time. Mr Raisdon Baya opened with telling us that the nominations had increased
and praising the artists on the improvement of their packaging of their works.

The music
category being the one with the most submissions, it shows how much of talent
and need there is from our artists in Bulawayo Mr Baya stated. He then asked a
man respected by many not only in Bulawayo only but in Zimbabwe as a whole Mr
Busisa Moyo CEO of United Refineries. This is where it got interesting all of
us thought he was closing the event but he asked everyone to go to the next
room.
We then
took sits and witnessed what in my eyes was a beautiful union between the
Bulawayo Arts Awards and United Refineries. United Refineries being a company
that has been around for the past eighty three years and being one of the few
remaining players in the edible oils industry, they are the manufacturing of
Roil Cooking Oil, Image soap, Roil Mayonnaise and the distributors of Rugani
hundred percent juices.
Now we can
add to that list that they are now sponsors of the event loved by many the
Bulawayo Arts Awards, they will be sponsoring the event with twenty thousand dollars,
talk about awesomeness. So if you thought the Bulawayo Arts Awards were cool
last year then this year it is going to be insane. Like every marriage one of
the parties has to change name in this case the Bulawayo Arts Awards are going
to be called the Roil Bulawayo Arts Awards #RBAAzw18 for all those on social
media that is the new hashtag.

Being a
huge fan of Roil cooking oil myself I loved the goodie bag that were handed out
by Nkue Nkala as the event ended, after being serenaded by the group Umdumo
WeSizwe with a song that marked this beautiful union. The list of the nominees
will be announced on the 27th of April via all media platforms.

2018 it is a date, do not forget to do the right thing and buy locally
manufactured goods Roil Cooking oil, Image Soap, Roil Mayonnaise at affordable
prices.
