RUM & ROOTS SELECTED FOR AI FOR GOOD FESTIVAL 2026

Harare, Zimbabwe — 4 July 2026 — Award-winning Zimbabwean filmmaker Adelaide ‘Segan’ Ganyani is proud to announce that her AI-generated short film RUM & ROOTS has been officially selected for screening at the AI for Good Film Festival 2026.

The screening will take place on 9 July 2026 as part of the global AI for Good initiative convened by the International Telecommunication Union [ITU].

Titled “Where Tradition, Wine and Wilderness Unite Us”, RUM & ROOTS is set in rural Hwange, Zimbabwe. The film follows Zuri, a Black American explorer, and Tinashe, a young villager reviving his family’s traditional baobab winemaking. It explores themes of heritage, identity, and ancestral memory — blending Zimbabwean storytelling with AI-driven filmmaking.

This selection follows the film’s successful showcase at London’s Africa Film Festival, marking another milestone in bringing authentic African narratives to international platforms.

“This is a celebration of Zimbabwean culture, innovation, and the power of storytelling,” said Adelaide Ganyani. “RUM & ROOTS proves that African stories told with technology and heart can resonate globally. I dedicate this to every young creative in Zimbabwe and across Africa who dares to dream.”

She also encouraged entrepreneurs to comply with tax obligations, noting that tax revenue remains essential for national development and creating an enabling environment for business growth.

The Expo provides an important platform to promote inclusion, showcase the talents, innovations and entrepreneurial potential of persons with disabilities, and strengthen efforts towards building an inclusive society where no one and no place is left behind.

As a Ministry, we remain committed to empowering persons with disabilities through sustainable livelihood opportunities, enterprise development, skills training and access to economic opportunities in line with the national development agenda.

We look forward to engaging with exhibitors, partners and communities throughout this important event as we continue working together to create a more inclusive and prosperous Zimbabwe for all.

Innovation & Industry: Our ZITF 2026 Journey
Our exhibition at this year's ZITF was a powerful showcase of Youth Entrepreneurship Promotion Towards Industrialization. From the Matabeleland North Office of the President and Cabinet pavilion, we proudly displayed the local production and innovation driving our district forward.

We were honored to have our Council Chairperson, Cllr R. Ndlovu, leading our team as we hosted Honourable Daniel Garwe, Minister of Local Government and Public Works. It was a significant opportunity to demonstrate how we are translating the Devolution Agenda into real-world results, from our district-manufactured leather school shoes to our packaged Idelele, Ibhobola, and Ibilebile ranges.

These initiatives prove that local value addition is the heartbeat of our growth. Thank you to everyone who visited our stand and shared in our vision for a prosperous, industrialized community!

This important event is engaging our dedicated management team, Councillors, and community stakeholders, all under the esteemed guidance of the Public Service Commission, the Ministry of Local Government, Public Works and National Housing, and the Office of the District Development Coordinator.

This workshop serves as a proactive platform for us to assess our current strategies, celebrate our successes, and pinpoint areas for improvement. It represents a unique opportunity to align our vision with the evolving needs of our community, ensuring that our goals remain relevant and impactful.
One of the key highlights of this workshop is its community-centric approach.

We recognize that the voices of our residents are essential in shaping the future of Gokwe. By engaging with the community, we are ensuring that our plans accurately reflect the needs and aspirations of those we serve.
