A Poet’s Quest for Love: Hombarume The Giant to Host Poetic Singles Mixer to Find a Partner
HARARE, ZIMBABWE – September 22 2025– Sarura Wako, a new platform for artistic expression and connection, is proud to announce its inaugural event, the Sarura Wako Poetic Singles Mixer. This unique gathering is more than just a social event; it’s a deeply personal journey led by one of Zimbabwe’s most celebrated voices in Shona poetry, Hombarume The Giant. The event is designed to create a space for creative singles to connect on a profound level, all while serving as Hombarume’s personal quest to find a partner. The mixer will take place on Saturday October 4th 2025 at Cafe Mocha in Gunhill, Harare.
Hombarume, whose powerful Shona poetry and resilience in the face of cerebral palsy has inspired many, is the co-creator and heart of this event. He seeks to challenge conventional dating norms by using the vulnerability and authenticity of poetry to find a true connection. The mixer is a reflection of his belief that love and partnership can be found in the most honest and expressive of places.
”My poetry is a window into my soul, and I want to find someone who is brave enough to look through it,” said Hombarume. “I’m not just a poet with a disability; I’m a man who wants to love and be loved. This mixer is my way of inviting someone to see the art in my heart and the man behind the poetry.”
The event will feature a series of curated activities, including:
Performances: An intimate space for poets to share their original work, offering a direct look into their emotions and character.
Poetry-Inspired Speed Mingling: A playful twist on speed dating, with conversation prompts based on famous poetic lines and themes, designed to move beyond superficial small talk.
Collaborative Poem: An interactive canvas where attendees can contribute a line or two, collectively creating a unique piece of art by the end of the day.
The Sarura Wako Poetic Singles Mixer is a testament to the power of art to bridge divides and a bold statement that love knows no boundaries. It is an invitation to Harare’s creative community to find connection and to witness a poet’s brave and public search for his muse.
