Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>Award-winning comedian and content creator Mduduzi \u2018Mdura\u2019 Dlamini has partnered with TAVI as their brand ambassador.<\/b><\/p>\n

TAVI is a Taiwan Africa Vegetable Initiative (TAVI), a three-year project to safeguard vegetable biodiversity for food & nutrition in Africa. The project is also being rolled out in Benin, Madagascar and Tanzania. It is done in collaboration with the World Vegetable Centre.<\/p>\n

In his role as an ambassador, Mdura is the project\u2019s face, and he advocates for healthy and traditional eating. His role seeks to encourage people, mostly the youth to consume vegetables religiously.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe all know how we as the youth overlook healthy eating and shy away from vegetables. I\u2019m here to change that because I\u2019m and will continue to aggressively advocate vegetable eating,\u201d said the comedian.<\/p>\n

He went on to explain that the vegetable brand gig came at a time when he was dedicating his craft to good things.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think I\u2019m the perfect fit for this because I have a connection to the youth and what a better way to drive the message across than to use a comedian,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mdura has graced a number of stages both local and international, he has also done influencing gigs for local companies like MTN, Standard Bank and Sibebe among others.<\/p>\n

He is also popular for his unwinding comedy shows, held every Thursday night at Lounge 23:28. He is known to pack a crowd and keep them laughing all night.<\/p>\n

Mdura was also among the first batch of comedians to perform scripted stints on social media. He did this under the name \u2018Anti\u2019 where he would eloquently reenact scenarios from home, while dressed as a typical aunt. He has also shared the stage with South African comedians like Sifiso Nene, Trevor Gumbi, Thenjiwe and Celeste Ntuli among others.<\/p>\n
