710 babies delivered at home in Epworth, Harare. Maternal health isn’t just a women’s issue it’s a human rights issue and a societal priority. The health of mothers shapes the future of our communities. 🔗 thezimbabwetimes.co.zw/epworths-tradi… #MaternalHealth #HumanRights #women

Women’s voices matter. In Zimbabwe, many mothers still face challenges getting the care they need. Hearing their own stories shows us the real struggles of motherhood. Maternal health is a right. Full story on 710 babies delivered at home in Epworth 👇 thezimbabwetimes.co.zw/epworths-tradi…

Honored to guest lecture at the University of Zimbabwe with the HJMB class on Photojournalism. We explored the power of images, visual storytelling, and photography as a tool for advocacy, justice & truth.

I am seeing X claims “indecent dressing” on rape, but stats say otherwise. Most cases happen at home in Zim where people are dressed decently A 2019 study found: 27% boyfriends, 25% relatives, 19% neighbors, only 9% strangers. It’s not the clothes it’s the perpetrators.

62% of grape survivors in Zimbabwe are children aged 11–15. Literally CHILDREN and people are out here talking about dressing. REALLY??? The issue isn’t clothing, it’s perpetrators. Most survivors are violated AT HOME dressed decently by people they trust😳😳😳.

I wrote this for Gender Links, showing that women’s leadership is limited not by ability but by cultural normslike in the case of Chief Silibaziso Mhlotswa. Laws alone can’t dismantle inequality; culture must evolve to reflect fairness and justice. genderlinksgmu.org.za/2025/10/03/zim…

When independent media thrives, democracy flourishes. Just wrapped up a two-day Southern Africa Media Summit, where we discussed press freedom, digital security, and the growing challenges of misinformation.Grateful to the FNF for over 40 years of supporting media in Zimbabwe.

We welcomed our muroora in style 🥳 When I posted the video on TikTok (300k views!), some were confused why we pereka muroora during the day. But what is culture? A system people follow without question? We make culture, culture doesn’t make us. Here’s my beautiful makoti ❤️

So I got a picture request of the jacaranda trees, and I was like, okay cool, definitely! Happy bloom season! 💜☂️📸 The jacaranda, though not native to Zimbabwe, has become a true symbol of Harare’s beauty. Originally brought from South America in the 1900s.

The Hidden Face of Human Trafficking: What began as a dream job in Dubai turned into a nightmare in Oman exposing the silent suffering of Zimbabwean women trapped by false promises. I did this story to give a voice to those who cannot speak. 🔗 thezimbabwetimes.co.zw/the-hidden-fac… #Women
