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.


Too often is Africa’s image linked to pain, poverty, misery …
