Chitungwiza Mushamukuru
An Anthology from Zimbabwe’s Biggest Ghetto Town
Sprawling to the south east of the revered Harare…there is a place
millions call home, Chitungwiza as in that olden track, “mushamukuru,
wakaenda kupiko, Chitungwiza.” It is Zimbabwe’s biggest village, that
became a town, that became a city, that became our own Soweto…
Zimbabwe’s biggest suburb yet also Zimbabwe’s Hollywood. It has produced
or groomed Zimbabwe’s creatives and creative industry from film, by the
book, poets, musicians, entertainers, academia, media practitioners,
sculptors and those involved in other visual arts. In this anthology, Chitungwiza Mushamukuru: An Anthology from Zimbabwe’s Biggest Ghetto Town,
we have work from 1 artist and 11 writers who have called this
Chitungwiza, Zimbabwe home, or have wrote home about this place, or have
created artworks which highlight the culture, identity, lives, and
position Chitungwiza in these matrixes or beyond those highlighted
above.
