Synopsis: Mugabe, My Dad and Me is a semi-autobiographical one-man show exploring Zimbabwe’s post-independence history through the lens of his own family, particularly his relationship with his father. Blending storytelling with Mugabe’s speeches and live mbira music by Millie Chapanda, the performance examines identity, colonial legacies, and personal memory. Munyevu’s witty, direct style engages audiences while unpacking complex intersections of politics, history, and personal experience.
