Feza schools celebrate language and culture

What you need to know:

About 272 students participate in this competition to compete in five categories. Which are: cultural dance, poem, songs, stage acting, and Ngonjera.

As one of the audience members I arrived at 9 am to secure my seat amongst the excited proud parents setting up their cameras and pointing to their children as they rushed to the stage. This is not my first time to be in the hall, although this event is completely different from all the others I have attended. Gone were the various glamorous props and set designs for the Miss Tanzania, this day is solely devoted to the commemoration of cultural and linguistic diversity amongst students of various schools in the country. The stage is adorned with a banner with the slogan: ‘Tamasha la lugha na utamaduni’ with another reading ‘Mioyo yetu pamoja’; another banner is printed with ‘Tanzania Feza schools’. There are also two flags, one Tanzanian and the other is Turkish. The official language of the day is Kiswahili; “Mabibi na mabwana na wapendwa wanafunzi wote wa shule za Feza, waandishi wa habari karibuni katika tukio hili maalum na la kipekee. Ni tamasha la lugha na utamaduni,” the host alerts the audience.
