This image, so ordinary that it fades into the landscape is a vivid testament to how unsustainable policies weigh most heavily on those … Continue reading Women, Water, and the Weight of Sustainability

Why an uprising against Zanu PF is doomed to fail.

I see some people advocating for an uprising against Zanu PF. Have you people thought this through? If you really provoke a crisis, with the populace on one side and the machinery of the Zanu PF executive and the justice department on the other, what’s to keep them from herding us into concentration camps? Do you think they will hesitate to use violence against us? … Continue reading Why an uprising against Zanu PF is doomed to fail.

Public Servants Must Use Public Transport

The Tyranny Continues

As an ordinary Zimbabwean citizen, I find myself once again standing on the aftermath of another election. It is a time after we were supposed to freely exercise our democratic right to choose our leaders, a fleeting moment when our voices were meant to matter. However, in the land once known as the Jewel of Africa, this concept has become nothing more than a cruel joke. The ruling party, the Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front (ZANU PF), has clung to power for decades, suffocating our dreams of a better future. And with just barely a month after elections, the grip of ZANU PF’s tyranny tightens further.
