The Credisi project started in August 2019 and this month’s event is its 10^th edition with two more shows left before the monthly project comes to an end. Through the CREDISI project Iyasa worked with the local authority and arts stakeholders on inter-cultural dialogue meetings which were set to build an understanding and generate confidence which can enable the implementation of reforms around the use of public infrastructure in the city. The project targeted to engage, youth led organisations, women’s arts groups, creative clubs/hubs as well as initiatives done by upcoming and independent artists in the city.

Due to the ban on public gatherings the March show had to be stopped which then forced us to host the other shows virtually. For this edition we will introduce to the world to a new dance outfit called the Soul Dudes, while Mzistozz Mfanafuthi, Shekinah “The Music” and Qeqe are all set to drop some of their latest tracks for the first time live on the Credisi Party.
