“An economy that is spiraling downwards traps everyone within it, so that they are slowly driven by the impulse to survive rather than to make a difference, give back, or do something that will better society as a whole, although they never become cynical nor lose their desire to do more for society, their families and themselves,” says Dr Valerie Tagwira as she narrates about her latest book, ‘Trapped’.

Chigumadzi’s brave search for the forgotten heroes of Zimbabwe’s history

In 'These Bones Will Rise Again,' Panashe Chigumadzi talks about spirit mediums and spiritual manifestations without qualifiers or excuses. She states them, not as things that may exist, not as myth or lore, but as one who is convinced that they are.  This is a truly courageous book; a young Zimbabwean, raised in South Africa, on a part of the continent where Christianity is the de-facto religion and where traditional religion is looked down upon as backward, somehow manages to put that lens aside and see things through different eyes.
