After two highly successful releases of THE FUMBA TIMES already, we would like to celebrate the end of 2019 and the new year 2020 drawing closer with this final edition of the year.

In this issue (December 2019 – February 2020), we focused on honouring some of the many people and stories who give their heart and soul contributing towards the place that they call home – Zanzibar in East Africa.

By featuring go-getters such as fashion designer Doreen Mashika, Siti & the Band, athlete Malaika Mihambo and many more, we want to salute these extraordinary talents originating from this part of the world and their quest to showcase it’s beauty.

I wish you a joyous and merry start into the new year and look forward to bringing a piece of Zanzibar right to your doorstep again in 2020.
