Why Haven't You Watched #TheChamhembeStory?
I have been an advocate for documentaries that tell the Zimbabwean music journey so you can imagine my excitement when the trailer for this docu-series came out. The 2000s were the period that defined the genres we now know as Zim Dancehall, Zim Hip-Hop and Zim Pop. The Chamhembe Story was a pivotal story that needed to be told and I'm glad it was finally told. We get interviews from Stunner, Leonard Mapfumo, M'Afriq, Tererai, Roki, Take Fizzo and Kevie who put pieces of the jigsaw puzzle that is the story of Chamhembe. At the end…

#WinterABC Day 6: Let's Socially Mediate
Having been active on social media fro the past 12 years I have some social networks come and go (who remembers Hi5 and MySpace?). I have learnt a lot (Nigerian scammers included) through it. The world has gotten smaller Y'all remember when online relationships were frowned upon? We've come a long way from that, haven't we? It's become a whole lot easier to meet people than we used to. It's also gotten a whole lot harder to become undetected at public gatherings (well before COVID-19). Privacy has become a rare commodity. S…
#WinterABC Day 5: A Lesson In Never Losing Yourself
Disclaimer: Never was a fan of teaching or textbooks either. Having an "interesting" life does offer its perks. Feel not to call me sir, or anything of the sort. Today's lesson is about never losing yourself. Sounds pretty basic, right? There's nothing as important as knowing who and what you are. While this may seem trivial ask yourself if you know who you are or if you are what society wants you to be. Are you living your truth or are you too scared to because your parents/family/society won't accept you? I've said…

#WinterABC Day 3: Why Sadza NeZondo Is It!
When it comes to my favourite food, hands down it's sadza nezondo . Nothing else can compare, seriously, nothing! My mouth has just started watering just thinking about it. Does that make me a foodie? For those non-Zimbabweans who might be wondering what on God's green earth is sadza nezondo . Sadza is the staple food of Zimbabwe made from cooked maize meal (ground maize). Mazondo are cooked cow feet/trtotters. This is one of those African delicacies, popular among men, mythologized to strengthen the backbone for "be…
