Clive Stockil Endorsing the Budula Festival in Chiredzi

The iconic Budula Festival is expanding its cultural and economic reach by bringing surrounding communities and attracting broader attendance. Clive Stockil is an award-winning conservationist based in the south-eastern Lowveld of Zimbabwe where he lived most of his life with the Tsonga/ Shangani people around the Gonarezhou National Park. He is well known for his contribution in the establishment of the Communal Areas Management Programme for Indigenous Resources commonly known as CAMPFIRE. He believes that this festival is also very instrumental in mobilising young people to appreciate their cultures. The Budula Festival formerly known as the Great Limpopo Cultural Trade Fair, was founded by Hebert Phikela. It is being organised annually by Mahlanga Centre (formerly Centre for Cultural Development Initiative - CCDI).
