An inspiring initiative in the Matobo Hills, in Zimbabwe, is having a dynamic impact on local villages and attracting attention from tourism. Every year after harvesting, the women decorate their huts with intricate designs using charcoal, ash, water and soil. Since 2014 an annual competition has sought to celebrate this fading tradition by rewarding the most beautiful home, and increasing numbers of homesteads now take part, with evermore complex decorations. The 2020 winner, Siphosethu Ndlovu, was chosen from over 800 entrants, and will build a hut at Rowallan Adventure Park in the National Park. Eco-tourism opportunities no doubt await.
