Dear SR users,

the year is coming to an end and I hope you are all doing well!

I haven't worked much on the platform in the last few months - a few bug fixes, a bit of work on Vho-Netshamutshedzi's Mbila dzamadeza (thanks to Ian Garrett), and you can now embed audio files and more video formats on the pages if you enter a link in one of the text fields.

When it comes to mbira, few things have made me as happy recently as James Kamwaza's initiative to give hera (matepe) lessons to the children at his nearest school in Nyanhewe/Rushinga. With the exception of Mangoma's own children, this is probably the only place in Zim+Moz where the matepe is taught to the next generation.

Unfortunately, the future of this project is already uncertain due to the current food crisis in Zimbabwe. Therefore, I have started a fundraiser: https://gofund.me/6222fbc0

Check out the video & please consider a donation!

Best wishes,
Stefan
