The Zimbabwean literary arts community joins the world in celebrating renowned writer and filmmaker Tsitsi Dangarembga who was honoured with the Sharjah Lifetime Achievement in Literature at the just-ended Sharjah Festival of African Literature held in the United Arab Emirates.

Dangarembga needs no intro - her literary works, including filmmaking, has won her various international awards.

What an exciting walk from one win to another for Zimbabwe!

Late last year, another Zimbabwean writer NoViolet Bulawayo was honoured with the 2025 Best of Caine Award. 

The annual SFAL, now in its second year, was held from January 14 -18, 2026, at the University City, UAE, under the theme "The African Way".

To Tsitsi, we say

MAKOROKOTO, CONGRATULATIONS!
