A voice for the voiceless

In Zimbabwe, political graffiti surges in popularity because of the crackdown on nearly every other means of expression.

"At 80, it's time to go"

"Mugabe is a dictator."

"Grace, the First Shopper"

"Please go."

"Mugabe has killed this country"

"Never trust ZANU PF"

"Mugabe's hands are full of blood."

As Mapfumo sings:

"The country you used to cry for is now in tatters. Let's get out of here. The country you used to cry for is now run by crooks."

It's good to be loved.
