Important Community Notice

It is with great sadness that we share that our family has suffered a bereavement following the passing of a beloved member of the Silundika family.

Out of respect for our family during this time of mourning, we have made the difficult decision to place all planned TiBaKalanga Festival activities and related events on hold until further notice.

We know many of you have been looking forward to the upcoming events, and we sincerely appreciate your understanding, patience, and continued support. We will keep everyone informed and provide further updates as soon as new arrangements can be made.

On behalf of the Silundika family and the TGSCCC team, thank you for your kindness, prayers, and understanding during this difficult time.

πŸ‘‘ She already has the courage. What she needs is your support.

The Miss TiBaKalanga contestants are not waiting to be discovered. They are already here β€” prepared, proud and ready.

Each one stood up in front of her village. She spoke. She walked. She represented her community and she won. That takes real strength.

Your sponsorship does not give her confidence. She already has it. What it gives her is the knowledge that the community stands behind her β€” and a stage worthy of everything she has worked for.

Sponsorships from $50 USD. All information here:

πŸ‘‘ She started in her village. Now she is heading to the festival.

Each Miss TiBaKalanga contestant began her journey at home β€” competing in a local village pageant, being seen and chosen by the people who know her best. That is not a small thing. It means something.

By the time she arrives at the TiBaKalanga Festival in Bulilima on 15 & 16 August 2026, she carries the pride of her whole community with her.

When you sponsor her journey, you become part of that story. Your support helps her show up the way she deserves β€” confident, celebrated and ready.

This is Gala. This is where we build.

Gala is a rural community in southern Matabeleland, and it is the home of the TG Silundika Cultural Community Centre.

For ten years, the Centre has brought people together through culture, learning, creativity and community action.

It is a place where traditions are celebrated, practical skills are shared, young people are encouraged and new ideas can begin to grow.

The TibaKalanga Festival is one of the most visible moments in our year.

But the Festival is only the beginning of the story.

Behind it is a wider community vision: supporting local talent, creating opportunities, strengthening cultural identity and building programmes that continue long after the Festival has ended.

Over the next eight posts, we will take you beyond the Festival and introduce the people, projects and ideas that make this work possible.

This is Gala.

This is where we build.

πŸ‘‘ Your brand. Their stage. A community watching.

When Miss TiBaKalanga takes the stage at the TiBaKalanga Festival on 15 & 16 August 2026 in Bulilima, the whole community will be there. Families, elders, young people, supporters from across the region β€” and every eye on the contestants who earned their place here.

Sponsoring a contestant puts your name in that moment. On the stage. In the programme. Across our social platforms. Connected to something this community genuinely celebrates.

This is not advertising in a void. This is your brand in a room full of people who care.
