The Executive Director for Nyamithambo Arts Palace (NAP) Eric Trinta has said this year’s festival, scheduled for 1 to 3 August, will include mountain hiking.
He disclosed this on Monday on the sidelines of of announcing that the Music Memorial Show is set for Chididi Community Centre ground and Nsanje Prison ground.
He said mountain hiking is being introduced in the district as part of sporting events marking the fifth edition of the Khulubvi Arts and Cultural Festival.
Trinta told ProjectM that it is unfortunate that the communities in Nsanje have had no interest in mountain hiking.
“It’s time for the people in the district to have a test of this sporting activity which is good for health,” said Trinta.
According to the executive director the mountain hiking will be done on the third day of the event.
A local resident, Edith Kaledzera said she was prepared to join the mountain hiking, saying it will be the first time for her to do it.
“I have never climbed the mountain in question going to Chididi,” she said.
