Covid-19: To defy or not to defy lockdown
Elliot Ziwira
In Mbare, anything and everything goes! It might as well be called a bastion.
The above statement sums up the view that most Zimbabweans have of the country’s oldest high density suburb, formerly known as Harare Township, before Independence in 1980.
It is a bustling district that conjures different memories among citizens and foreigners alike: the nostalgic, grisly, regretful, hopeful, gleeful and simply unsayable.
Located about five kilometres to the south of the central business district of Harare, Mbare has seen it all since its birth in 1907. Its creators, colonial settlers of Rhodesia, never thought of it as more than an abode of impoverished migrant workers from Mozambique, Zambia (Northern Rhodesia) and Malawi (Nyasaland), particularly males, whose wives were not allowed.
