I am a photojournalist and filmmaker based in Zimbabwe, Africa. In addition to my skillset are graphics design, video editing, writing and translations. I am a lover of the outdoors and travelling. I enjoy listening to and telling human interest stories at the grassroots level. I work between Zambia and Zimbabwe. I have full production gear and a sweet editing suite - essentially a small production company. I can handle most kinds of productions throwing in a creative flair and excellent communication throughout the production process.

I filmed this video in Kabwe, Zambia for @kindernothilfee.v.2686 as part of their @timetotalkdialogueworks7142 campaign. This film tells a (day in life) story of a child, who participates in the campaign. The story in Zambia is cut together with stories from two other children from India and Peru. The linking element of the film is the artwork, the children produce for the film. It is a painting with a brush or spray cans or similar of "Art. 12" (This is the article in the UN Convention on the rights of the child which is the right of participation).

The 2023 Zimbabwe harmonised elections proved to be a digital battleground, with the ruling party and opposition members waging war on X (Twitter). Their campaigns were characterised by misinformation, toxicity, muck-throwing, censorship and cyberbullying.
Four years after Cyclone Idai devastated this mountainous district, a shadow still hangs heavy. The Mutare High Court’s recent declaration of 279 missing persons as dead brings closure for some, but for many, the wounds remain raw.
Journalists Must Be Careful Not to Amplify Hate Speech
Journalists have a significant responsibility to report accurately and ethically, especially in the context of hate speech. At a post-election conference in Kariba, speakers emphasized the importance of avoiding the amplification of hate speech through responsible reporting. This includes careful story selection, providing context, avoiding sensationalism, and minimizing the platform given to hate speech perpetrators. Ethical reporting standards were highlighted by UNESCO representative Al Min Yusuph and ZOCC Chairman Toneo Rutsito, who stressed the media's role in shaping national narratives.
Zimbabwe has relocated thousands of wild animals to protect them from climate change
Zimbabwe has undertaken a significant wildlife relocation project, moving over 2,800 animals to new habitats to protect them from the effects of climate change. The initiative, part of Project Rewild Zambezi, aims to restore wildlife populations in the Zambezi River valley, which have been depleted by poaching and habitat destruction. The project is funded by the World Wildlife Fund and other conservation groups, and involves relocating animals from the Save Valley Conservancy to northern conservancies like Sapi, Matusadonha, and Chizarira. The Zimbabwe National Parks and Wildlife Management Authority is spearheading the effort, which also includes measures to improve habitat quality and provide better protection for wildlife. The ultimate goal is to create a sustainable ecosystem that supports a diverse range of species, thereby conserving tourism resources and mitigating human-wildlife conflict.
How UNITAR is empowering young Zimbabwean women to embrace sustainable practices and thrive in the digital economy
UNITAR’s Developing Green Livelihoods for Women and Youth in Africa program, funded by Japan, is empowering young Zimbabweans to adopt sustainable practices and thrive in the digital economy.
