- BY SHARON SIBINDI

AFRO JAZZ musician Dudu Manhenga has been appointed brand advocate for a telecommun­ications service provider, Telco.

The partnershi­p is meant to drive legacy projects that impact communitie­s.

Recently Telco and Manhenga celebrated their love for the environmen­t with a photo shoot campaign in Harare.

The campaign was aimed at inspiring people to have a new mindset about caring for the streets, neighborho­od and the earth in general.

“The relationsh­ip with Telco started in an interestin­g way,” Manhenga told Standard Style.

“On my birthday I made a wish list… it included WiFi installati­on at home. Someone from Telco wished me happy birthday and I asked if he has seen my post.

“I took a screenshot and he scaled it up and the rest is history.”

“So now our relationsh­ip is that I am their brand advocate and we are partnering to do legacy projects that will impact our communitie­s.

“You will be seeing a number of activities from DuduPowere­d by Telco.”

Talking about their recent project on protecting the environmen­t, Manhenga said she’s fussy about littering and loving the environmen­t has been always at heart. “It’s something that has always been in my heart,” she said. “I am fussy about littering and at home my children get the lecture of water preservati­on and littering.”

Manhenga said they were arranging clean-up exercises in di erent towns, starting with Hatcli e in Harare.

She said awareness programmes were also in store targeted at the youths.
