Television personality and social commentator Dr Rebecca
Chisamba will take her popular show to Australia for the first time next month.
Hosted by Sydney-based baker Christina Muchenagumbo, Dr
Chisamba will be holding two shows, one in Sydney on March 22 and another in
Perth on March 30.
The shows will be themed “Morari naMai Chisamba”. In an
interview with The Herald Arts, Muchenagumbo said it was good time to invite
Mai Chisamba to host a show because not only were people in the Diaspora
missing her, but it was also about understanding the Zimbabwean culture.
“We chose the theme ‘Morari naMai Chisamba’, because as
much as we are discussing issues that are sensitive and pertinent it will be
done in an environment that is fun-filled, it will be an elegant red carpet
night, good food and good vibes,” she said.
Muchenagumbo who is more popularly known as Chrissy said
Zimbabweans living in the diaspora have had experiences with depression,
suicide, marital issues and domestic violence among others and it was of
paramount importance that those issues are dealt with.
“As much as we have lots of services in the country to help
deal with issues we thought as a community it would be ideal to have someone
whom we can identify with to discuss this is a neutral environment,” she said.
She said it was time to get together as Zimbabweans under
one roof despite religion, dialect, gender or colour because we all face the
same issues and problems.
Some of the topics to be discussed include, ‘How to raise
children in the diaspora maintaining our traditional values’, ‘Supporting
families back home and how to do it with stressing oneself’, ‘Role change in
the diaspora, women earning more than men’ and ‘Depression and suicide in the
diaspora’ among others.
Muchenagumbo said there are panellists for both shows male
and female.
“This is an event for both ladies and gentlemen who are 18
years and above. We have made the shows diverse because over the years we have
seen ladies involved in a lot of groups and supporting each other,” she said.
She has been baking for seven years having been a
self-taught baker. She said her passion was to make sure everyone tasted her
cakes and also be able to make their own. Herald
