Rainseekers Arts in Education Conservatoire (Rsaeic) led by veteran musician and retired deputy director of culture, Bernard Kwilimbe, continues its work of decorating the country’s sons and daughters for their great work in different fields.
In a statement Rainseekers said on Wednesday that the congregation will be held on October 6-8 during the Blantyre Arts Festival (BAF).
“We don’t have to leave everything to the government. We can do something to appreciate the work that several sons and daughters are doing in the country in different fields. We have some who have retired and others are still on the ground. As Rainseekers we are not saying we have the resources but from the little we have we thought of doing this,” Kwilimbe said.
Rainseekers which is based in Lilongwe has its units – a nursery and primary school through the Jane Adams Education Centre, an Arts In Education Conservatoire/ Special college which offers leadership education programme for teachers, events managers, music category as well as Pastor McDonald Mlaka Maliro in the category of music and gate-keeping.
The list also has Apostle Willy Chaponda, Marvin Hanke, Patrick Khoza, Patrick Simakweli, Dyson Gonthi, Boniface Ndamera of Lucky Stars, Dick Mlazie, Peter Masina, who is a sculptor, Aaron Maluwa, Alfred Msadala, Ben Mankhamba, John Nthakomwa and veteran musician Wyndham Chechamba.
The others on the list are Lucius Chikuni, Costen Mapemba, Michael Usi, Captain Kele, Sambalikagwa Mvona, Kwathu Drama Group, Nanzikambe Arts, Mr Entertainer Jai Banda, Giddes Chalamanda, Smith Likongwe and Mike Kamwendo.
“We have not managed to contact all of them but we will do so. This is also an appeal to those who are on the list to make themselves available so as to get their certificates of recognition,” Kwilimbe said.
Some of the people who have been awarded certificates in the previous cohorts include Wambali Mkandawire, Maria Chidzanja Nkhoma, Nickson Malamulo, Waliko Makhala and Charles Chavalamangwere Mkanthama.
