Mugabe was a man of contradictions, most of them ones he created or perpetuated; reading Zvomuya’s book, one gets the sense he was constantly self-(re)inventing based on the exigencies of whatever was going on around him.
The real man is someone we may never truly know, no matter how many biographies are written—and he did not seem to want to be known—but Zvomuya’s is the first full-length book by a Black Zimbabwean, and a very successful one.

Before we could even take a breath to celebrate Simbarashe Steyn Kundizeza’s winning the 2026 Caine Prize for Writing, Vauhini Vara alleged in an article in The Atlantic that Kundizeza had used "AI" to write The Blue Fighter.

This is crazy, racist and wildly unethical. Seems? Despite there being no shred of credible evidence? Maddening.

This is a very irresponsible article. The only proof given is the use of an AI-detection tool and author's own assumption of what is considered cliche in African writing. She then goes on to quote Panagram's own "research" as proof that it rarely detects false positives.

African literature does not need to be rescued, validated, or explained to the world. It was here before the prizes, and it will be here long after them. 🙏🙏 #AfricanLiterature #CainePrize #Writing
