Mohamed Mchengerwa, the Minister for Culture, Arts and Sports, said the week-long cultural festival between the two countries will also be held in Coast, Morogoro and Dodoma regions, and Zanzibar.

Mchengerwa said the festival will involve a chain of events, including exhibitions of the southern African liberation struggle in which Tanzania played a major role, the two countries culture and traditional norms, African music and traditional dances.

“Visitors to the joint cultural festival will have a golden opportunity to learn the history of the liberation struggle in Southern Africa,” he said at the Mlimani City Mall in the port city of Dar es Salaam, the venue of the festival.
