About

Many Zimbabweans. One blog. That pretty much sums up what this website is about.

If you want more, it’s our pleasure to oblige:

Zimbablog brings together ordinary Zimbabweans- if any such thing exists- writers, students, journalists, politicians, serial bloggers, business leaders, entrepreneurs and a whole host of other people, wherever they are in the world, together. The one thing they have in common is that they are Zimbabwean.

You want even more? You got it:

It is said that less than 2% of ALL content on the web is from Africa. It is our hope that by creating collaborative content platforms such as Zimbablog we can work together with thousands of other people to change that strange statistic.

What if?

Beyond the statistics and numbers, what if we could create a platform that would enable us to paint the pictures of the things we are doing and striving for as Zimbabweans around the globe? What if through this platform we could share these pictures with each other and the world? What if by doing this we created a certain momentum- to inspire, to catalyse, to leap ahead of our time?

Zimbablog asks that question. What if?

We thank you for your feedback- if you have any. It can only help us to improve the website and related services.

    • Alick Macheso- Lucky Guitarist or Musical Genius?
      By Memory Chirere Although many Zimbabwean music lovers are agreed that Alick Macheso is the King of Sungura, the Zimbabwean brand of Rhumba, that is as far as the agreement will go. As Masimba Kuchera admits in an article on the Chesopower website, ‘there have been many schools of thought on the (real) strength of Macheso- some arguing about his skills with the bass guitar, some contending that it is his vocals and others proffering his dancing skills, it is generally agreed that the musician is of immense talent.’ When people agree that you are extremely talented but go on to debate hotly about exactly whether your strength lies in theway you walk or the way you run, then that is a mark of genius. You actually put people in a crisis of naming aspects of a phenomenon.
    • A Dance Farewell for Isabel Matola
      By  Ruvimbo Hope Masike Here is one of the most beautiful things about Zimbabwe. It is inimitably Zimbabwean. We Zimbabweans love peace, of course, among other things. We love fun, joy and we are naturally celebratory people even when there isn’t much to celebrate about. For instance young children jump around joyously chanting “Ndege! Ndege!” when an aeroplane passes over them. Now when there is something worthy of the celebration, the joy is electric, understandably so, considering how almost everything else around us is seemingly dull and confusing and uninspiringly so. As a result, when Isabel Matola’s Mozambique Dance Festival came by, it turned out to be one of the brightest lights in town, which was a well deserved acclaim.
    • Kanda Bongo Man Lands in Harare With One Guitar
      [Herald] France-based rhumba maestro Kanda Bongo Man had just one guitar when he set out to perform at the Harare International Conference Centre on Wednesday evening, and his day was saved by a local musician who offered him his instruments on the 11th hour to avert what could have turned out to be an international disaster.
