Pamushana head of drama department Simbarashe Mlambo said this is their maiden appearance and they are elated.
“It’s our maiden appearance and now we are going to represent Masvingo at the Nationals which is quite an experience.
“I can’t promise that we are going for a win but I can just say whatever happens we are trying our best,” he said.
Nash head in charge of Debate and Public Speaking Lincoln Mlambo said drama not only entertains but educates.
“Each year’s theme has a solid reason behind it and this year’s theme aims to teach and warn youth and the community at large of the effects of certain decisions in life.
“Drama showcases talent but we also regard it like all other sporting activities while trying to portray that it’s not only ball games that are important and can earn one a source of livelihood,” he said.
