  • ZIFF MOURNS CHAIBA KOMBO

    CHAIBA KOMBO [1966-2012]

    It is with deep sadness that we received the news of Chaiba Kombo’s passing. Having known her for many years, there is no doubt that she was a dedicated writer who was very committed to developing her craft. In Tanzania today, where there is so much hype and excitement about a film industry, it is probably worth reflecting on why an individual like Chaiba, dedicated to education and professional development in her chosen field, found so little opportunity or support for her work.
