Our blogger recently took a trip to Botswana to see how Zimbabwean refugees are faring there. Refugees in different countries in Africa face similar problems to what we face here in South Africa. In South Africa, refugees have been faced by the problems of xenophobia, unlawful arrest and detention in various police stations and a repatriation centre called Lindela. Lindela is one of the biggest...

From victim to victim, youth from Zimbabwe are helping those who are in pain after the earthquake that almost destroyed Haiti. The Matabeleland Youth Network (MYN) met on 27 January to donate money to the victims in Haiti, which was broadcast on South African television. These youth are victims of Zimbabwe violence and the Gukurahundi genocide that swept their parents from 1982 to 1987 and killed ...

...and those who have just arrived. Do these groups try and help each other? Many Zimbabweans all over the world started migrating during the liberation struggle and later during the times of Gukurahundi, and the number rose to millions in the late nineties.

My friend dropped me off outside ZIMRIGHTS and there were litera...

In Gwanda, I saw that people are managing to travel from point A t...

A Day in the Diaspora - Nxwala Ncube Everything was normal until I reached the Beitbridge border. As soon as I left the border there was no tarred road, it was gravel. I do not know what all the money which they charge at customs is used for. I think it is supposed to be used to repair the road and improve the infrastructure there at the border gate but this is not the case. The place is dry ther...

A Day in the Diaspora - Nxwala Ncube After the signing of the political agreement last year September there are still outstanding issues especially for the MDC that has not been resolved up to now. Maybe it is because MDC promised the people will not engage themselves in any agreement if the human rights activist Jestina Mukoko is not set free. Two days later when Morgan visited the activist in j...

A Day in the Diaspora - Nxwala Ncube The police in Johannesburg have introduced the stop and search operation, targeted at foreigners. This is supposed to be a good move because it was introduced to offer safety for the 2010 World Cup. But the police are abusing the move for their personal gain. I experienced this firsthand.
