It’s this time of the year again: the Marsden Singers will present „The Messiah“ by German-British composer Handel. Born in Germany in 1685 as Georg Friedrich Händel and receiving his formal training there, he settled in London in 1712 and became a British citizen in 1727. The great Baroque composer 🎼 is known for his melodic oratorios and operas, fusing music styles from different countries (like Italy, France and Germany) thus creating a new cosmopolitan style. “Messiah“ is regarded as his masterpiece.
Don’t miss out on this upcoming chance to experience it this coming weekend 😉👍🏼
The German Embassy is happy to have co-sponsored this musical project.
A film crew 📽 from Germany recently came to Zimbabwe to make a documentary on the baobab tree. Baobab, the fruit of the baobab tree, can now be found in more and more foods and is considered a true super fruit 💪🏾 But how did the fruit get to Germany?

The documentary is screening on German Tv now and can be watched (unfortunately only in German 😉) under the following link:

🇪🇺 EU Ambassadors returned yesterday from their field trip to Mutare in order to meet local authorities and project partners, mainly in the area of good governance. They also met with a large number of NGOs that cover a wide range of issues like environment 🌱, child protection 👧🏼🧒🏾👦, gender equality, human rights and humanitarian assistance.

Ever heard of the Rhino Cup Champions League Zimbabwe ? 🦏⚽️🇿🇼
Established and sponsored by the Wild and Free Foundation, the soccer league was created for young men and women in areas surrounding National Parks in Southern Africa in order to uplift
rural communities and reducing rhino poaching. With weekly practices and matches young people have the opportunity to be part of a team, decrease idle time and foster self-empowerment and improvement.
The league was started in Mozambique in 2017, than joined by Namibia and finally, with support of the local partner Painted Dog Conservation, by Zimbabwe in 2021 👍🏼
To kickstart the new league in rural communities around Hwange National Park, numerous donors and ⚽️ soccer clubs from Germany 🇩🇪 donated soccer equipment for the 20 teams which are aptly named „Rhinos“ 🦏, „Crocodiles“ 🐊, „Zebras“ 🦓 (in the lead at the moment) or „Leopards“ 🐆 and are the pride of each community they represent.
The container with the soccer kits 👕🧤 and balls finally arrived in Dete at the end of the rainy season after a journey of more than a year due to pandemic delays and floods in Durban 😳 The German Embassy Harare was more than happy to support this project by facilitating import procedures.

We are all so looking forward to it 🎶😊!!

GERMAN UNITY DAY Today Germany 🇩🇪 celebrates 31 years of German reunification 🤝🏻 Here is Ambassador Udo Volz with a few words to mark the occasion:
2 in 1 Even though the German Embassy is not able to host the annual National Day reception on Oct 3rd, the Embassy's staff still wanted to celebrate this years' double anniversary in some way. Besides 30 years of German Unity we also commemorate 40 years of German-Zimbabwean bilateral diplomatic relations 🇩🇪🇿🇼 Therefore we thought it a good idea to get together and sing our two national anthems. It might not have choir qualities - but we tried our best! Promise: we will strive to do better next year 😉 Thank you Tinashe Nyamukapa and Milan for your musical support!
