ABOUT

The MTHWAKAZI INDEPENDENT is an anthology of essays that evoke unsettling memories of the past; each essay cracks open a boundary to build a world for the many not the few; it articulates ideas that shape local experiences, politics, dreams, and all that matters in Matabeleland.

Our Mission

In this era-defining moment, we invite participation by the Matabeleland public so we can build a high information constituency together. We carry out research, educate, empower, and improve public access to equal opportunities for political influence. We produce stories in local voices.
