The Mozambique China Cultural Center (CCMC) was the stage for a remarkable event last night, where music and awareness messages came together in a special concert entitled “For an Africa Free of HIV/AIDS”. The event, which attracted a diverse and engaged audience, featured the renowned Mozambican writer and Camões Prize winner, Paulina Chiziane, and highlighted the vibrant performance of singer Iveth.
Among the evening's performances, Iveth captivated the audience with her powerful voice and engaging stage presence, using music as a tool to raise awareness about the fight against HIV/AIDS in Africa. Known for her commitment to social causes, Iveth delivered a selection of moving songs that reflected the urgency and hope of eradicating the disease on the continent.
A Social Impact Event
The concert was not just a musical celebration, but also a call to action. Paulina Chiziane, who has been an influential voice in literature and social activism in Mozambique, gave a passionate speech about the importance of unity and continued effort in the fight against HIV/AIDS. She highlighted the need for education, prevention, and support for people affected by the disease, emphasizing collective responsibility in building a healthier future for all.

In addition to Iveth, other local and international artists took to the stage, each bringing their unique perspective and talent to the cause. The diversity of performances, which included music, dance, and poetry, reinforced the idea that art can be a powerful tool for social change.

The audience left the event not only entertained, but also inspired and informed. The concert's central message – the vision of an Africa free of HIV/AIDS – resonated deeply, reminding everyone of the importance of continuing to fight the epidemic. Iveth's performance, in particular, was a highlight that will continue to echo in the memory of all those present, symbolizing the hope and determination needed to overcome public health challenges in Africa.
