Speaking at the ceremony, the ZIFF Festival Director, Prof. Martin Mhando said that “this support is important to ZIFF because funding for cultural activities has diminished over the years, and commercial entities can use profiles of such festivals like ZIFF to support the arts.
Akizungumza katika hafla hiyo, Mkurugenzi wa Tamasha la ZIFF, Prof. Martin Mhando alisema “msaada huu ni muhimu kwa ZIFF kwa sababu ufadhili wa shughuli za kitamaduni umepungua kwa miaka mingi, na mashirika ya kibiashara yanaweza kutumia wasifu wa matamasha kama ZIFF kusaidia sanaa.
