I can't stop thinking about the couple in the murder suicide in Dzivarasekwa. So many hot takes, arguments about polygamy, and even jokes (yes we are that callous) We forget that murder is that unique crime that leaves more than one victim. The children here are victims too. 3.6K views · 64 likes · 4 reposts · 3 replies Open on X →

I want to love this statue because it is the work of a sister Tshabalala Self. But I can't stop laughing. It's like a Tom and Jerry cartoon come to life. The best thing one can say is that it will be replaced in two years. Until then it will provoke much mirth and hilarity. 1.2K views · 3 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

Excellent statement from ZIMURA on the ongoing copyright dispute between Fungisayi Zvakavapano and Mono Mukundu and his son's band. Intellectual property is just that. It's property. "Covering" a musician's work without permission is a form of theft. It's really that simple. 13.4K views · 49 likes · 8 reposts · 12 replies Open on X →

In the 1880s Lobengula’s court was besieged by fortune hunters. His father Mzilikazi had given hospitality to the missionary Robert Moffat, David Livingstone’s father-in-law and Lobengula now had Moffat’s son John Smith pushing English interests with the missionary Charles Helm.
