Memory Chirere\u2019s \u201cBhuku Risina Basa Nekuti Rakanyorwa Masikati<\/a>\u201d on Saturday won the National Arts Merit Awards (NAMA)<\/a> accolade for the Outstanding Fiction Book, affirming the dominance of local languages in the category.<\/p>\n

Chirere\u2019s debut poetry anthology was closely contested by Emmanuel Sigauke\u2019s short story collection \u201cMukoma\u2019s Marriage and Other Stories\u201d and Weaver Press\u2019s multi-authored \u201cWriting Lives.\u201d
\u201cBhuku Risina Basa\u201d is a light-hearted collection minted with familiar images, everyday language and incisive insight into some of life\u2019s ironies.<\/p>\n

The anthology comprises 68, mostly short, poems stylistically traceable to Chirere for his painstaking simplicity, humour, understatement, musical effects and flippant brevity.<\/p>\n

Indigenous titles which have previously won in the category include Chirere\u2019s collection \u201cTudikidiki,\u201d Felix Manyimbiri\u2019s \u201cMudzimu Wakupe Chironda\u201d and Ignatius Mabasa\u2019s \u201cImbwa Yemunhu\u201d and \u201cNdafa Here?\u201d<\/p>\n

The Outstanding First Creative Published Work category was this year a preserve of female writers.<\/p>\n

Cynthia Marangwanda\u2019s \u201cShards\u201d took the gong. The novella published by LAN Readers is an excursion into the African traditional spirit world.<\/p>\n

\u201cRevai\u201d by Ropofadzo Mupunga and \u201cA Struggle Alike\u201d by Debra Vakira both published by Zimbabwe Women Writers were nominees.<\/p>\n

\u201cAround the Fire \u2013 Folktales from Zimbabwe\u201d edited by dramatist and director Raisedon Baya won the Outstanding Children\u2019s Book accolade.<\/p>\n

\u201cLittle Hare Stories \u2013 Big Trouble at the River\u201d written by actor and film-maker Enock Chihombori and \u201cMombe Yamai\u201d by Chenjerai Mazambani were nominees.<\/p>\n

Highly regarded literary critic and poet Beaven Tapureta\u2019s Writers International Network (WIN) Zimbabwe blog won the Online Media Award, a deserving commendation for Tapureta\u2019s committed coverage of local literature.<\/p>\n

Theatre production \u201cImbiko kaMandlenya\u201d adapted from Mayford Sibanda\u2019s novel by the same title made a clean sweep in the theatre awards.<\/p>\n
