Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Bulawayo deputy mayor Mlandu Ncube has implored the Government and corporates to support artistes while they are still alive instead of giving them state-assisted funerals and buying their coffins when they are dead.<\/p>\n

Ncube made the remarks at the burial of the late award-winning comedian Clive Chigubu who died on Wednesday last week. Said Ncube:<\/p>\n

The artists talked about corporates, the government, and institutions that they do not want to have state-assisted funerals.<\/p>\n

Why do they want to wear suits and come to address them when they are dead, why not support them while they are still alive?<\/p>\n

As a local authority and the government, we should rethink how we take care of our artists. We as Bulawayo City Council, have taken a step further.<\/p>\n

As a city, all these years we have been working with Nhimbe Trust and we have gone further, employed someone who now works with artists.<\/p>\n

We are saying come forward and we help each other to grow. I think we should create a policy that as long as you are applying for a license in Bulawayo, what is your policy towards arts.<\/p>\n

Bulawayo should contribute towards the economy of the country through the creative industry, this is what we should do.<\/p>\n

So this has taught us that we have got a lot of comedians and I will have to look through this with my colleagues on how we can slot them and develop the talent and grow our city.<\/p>\n

National Arts Council of Zimbabwe (NACZ) Director Nicholas Moyo exhorted other artists to take their craft seriously and build businesses.<\/p>\n

Chigubhu succumbed to cancer of the lymphatic system (Diffuse Large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and was laid to rest at Umvutcha Park Cemetery in Bulawayo on Sunday.<\/p>\n

He is survived by his wife and five-year-old daughter.<\/p>\n
