We need your help!

For us to capture the historical context and display some of the best-documented images we need your assistance to catalogise the remaining images.

For example:

  • Volunteers to write articles about the Kalanga culture and their involvement in the liberation struggle
  • Raise funds for printing images for the exhibition
Project Objectives
  • to display and exhibit 500, the first batch of the thousands of images of the liberation struggle captured by the late Zenzo Nkobi
  • to honor and commemorate the sacrifice made by Zimbabweans during the struggle
  • to highlight the historical significance of ZAPU’s contribution in the country’s liberation
  • to initiate a process of open dialogue, discussion and debate on the various issues surrounding the liberation struggle.
