We need to sit down and decolonise gender as Africans. It's roles, functions, perceptions. Much of what we now ascribe as masculine/ feminine was imposed on us. Has zero relevance in our actual histories. The Mwenemutapa was guarded by women with dogs. Lozikeyi ran a revolution

Yes pamurume. Yes pamhino. Yes, on both counts.
My theory is that when the coloniser came, and through violence and audacity imposed his version of manliness on you, stripped away yours. That's when he neutered you, took your manhood. You you submitted to him. Now you no longer

Force is relative. They hanged the mediums because Chivanhu was the resistance/ opposition. They changed the phraseology. A N'anga became a "witchdoctor". They introduced a witchcraft suppression act which criminalised chivanhu. They only offered education to baptised children

You really think your abuser remembers the abuse. For you, it was trauma. For them, it was another Tuesday.

The fact that you know more about someone in the region of Palestine fasting for 40 days and 40 nights while being tormented by a demon. Lent is normal to you, but you know nothing about why your ancestors venerated November is why my Mbudzi starts now. I rest my tsvimbos.

I would send telepathic messages but you are brainwashed, brain dead. Colonialism didn't bring technology to Africa, it retarded African technologies, philosophies & governance. Now that your conquerors have ravaged the earth with their lack of forethought they turn around

Every year Zimbabweans tweet about the Nov shut down but it"s only chivanhu- traditional, customary processes that pause. You can go to the registry office, sign a legal document, you can walk down the aisle, make Hebrew vows, you can put a granite on a grave, say blood prayers

It is deeply disturbing that men in positions of power continue to weaponise culture to police women’s bodies while excusing male violence.
Rape is not a dress code issue. Hold rapists accountable!!!
Chief Fortune Charumbira, who is also a Senator has advised local women against wearing mini-skirts because they are not decent and they attract men who may end up raping them.
He added that miniskirts are not part of Zimbabwe’s culture but are for white women.
