A few months ago Chimwemwe Chipidza entered the World Monologue Games as an amateur and now 2 rounds of the competition later she's set to be among the few names competing in the global finals. In the first round she made it as 1 of 9 from 650 who had entered the competition and she jokingly pointed out she was finally part of the 1%. She's competing in the amateur category which is 1 of 6 categories featured in the competition this year. The young creative is also set to be part of MultiChoice Talent Factory's 2022 Academy Class.
I entered the World Monologue Games and yesterday morning I received this email.
