Zimbabwean filmmaker Tawanda Gunda-Mupengo took home the $1,000 first prize in the continent’s largest Pan African Film Festival devoted to Gender Based Violence (GBV).

Several hundred people gathered at the launch to watch Gunda-Mupengo’s film, 'Spell My Name', the moving story of a young teacher who uncovers the sexual abuse of one of her students by the school’s headmaster. Eighty-four films from 18 African countries were submitted for inclusion in the festival, organized by UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund, to call attention to gender based violence and break the silence surrounding the issue.
Meanwhile SW Radio Africa won an the Africa International Broadcasting Award last weekend.
According to the AIB, the award was for their brave reporting on Zimbabwe and providing an alternative voice.
Congrats Again.
