Making Noise

On the 29th of March 2008 Zimbabweans dreams were stolen. On the 29th of March 2009 dreams were reawakened. Hope sang.

One year after Zimbabwe's stolen elections noise erupted at the Bassline in Newtown, Jo'burg as leading musicians from the region sung songs of solidarity. Organised by Magamba and partners LNM and ZSF, MAKE SOME NOISE! A Concert For Freedom In Zimbabwe was attended by an estimated 800 people and was blessed by leading artists such as Thandiswa Mazwai, Kwani Experience, Pops Mohammed, Chirikure Chirikure, TJ Dema, Comrade Fatso and Chabvondoka, Tumi and the Volume featuring Zubz, Outspoken and the Essence, Steve Makoni, Sam Mutkudzi, DJ Kenzhero, 340ml, Napo Masheane, Upmost and Stan and many many more powerful voices. MC'd by the one and only Lebo Mashile MAKE SOME NOISE aimed to build people-to-people solidarity in the region and to maintain a spotlight on the Zimbabwe crisis despite the so-called inclusive government. Lebo Mashile got the message across that "the people of Zimbabwe are crying out for a new constitution, freedom of expression and for their social economic and human rights". Southern Africa came together in a powerful show of solidarity!
