Kwekwe is one of the cities in Zimbabwe located in the Midlands province. A province which is rich in a number of natural resources including gold.
However when one does his or her research well,you will find that even talented models derive from the Province.
One of those is Clever Nashy Mutero (21),the first Prince and Mr Personality of kwekwe.Who is also signed under Zimbabwe’s exclusive model agency,Top model Agency,which has produced a number of Zimbabwe’s most talented models.
The 21 year old said he is proud of his home town and said his home area is rich when it comes to the modelling sector.
However the downfall of the country’s economy has acted a dark could to a number of upcoming models as it has made some of them,to throw away the towel of their dreams.
“Kwekwe is a very small city,which consists of so much talent,unfortunately because of the state of the country’s economy and that modelling in our country is not taken seriously this makes us the youths of the Golden City not to be given or not to have the opportunity to show our talent and put Kwekwe on the map,he said.
The 21 year old model further said that a number of young models who are still dreamers in kwekwe are seeking to pursue their dreams in big cities such as Harare and Bulawayo.
The Prince of the Golden city said besides,the downfall of the economy which has pushed other models to seek greener pastures from other towns and cities,corruption and politics have also played the role of push factor.
“Our city is considered to be less active when it comes to making dreams come true,there are factors which can be considered to put Midlands province on the map if people come together.
“Let’s put our brands together and make our Midlands to be recognised if only we stop politics and corruption in the industry we can go far,” he said.
Simende encouraged young models from Kwekwe and across the country to believe in their goals and not to give up in their dreams.
