Harare, Zimbabwe – Twenty-three-year-old Gladys Marima has albinism and skin cancer.
In December she had to leave her home in Harare, when her family kicked her out. Her cancer, which is linked to her albinism, had caused a deep, septic wound on her cheek that had become infected with maggots and, she says, her family could not tolerate the smell.
Now she is staying with relatives in Chipinge, 400km from Harare. But she is unable to receive treatment because the two public hospitals which offer chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment in Zimbabwe – Parirenyatwa General Hospital in Harare and Mpilo Central Hospital in Bulawayo – were forced to close these departments in January when the hospitals became overwhelmed with COVID patients.

Movement for Democratic Change Alliance youth leader, Obey Sithole, is expected to appear in court for an initial remand on criminal nuisance charges for allegedly participating in a demonstration early this month.
In a tweet, the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR) said Sithole, who spent his second day in police custody on Tuesday and is represented by Obey Shava, allegedly protested in public warning the government to desist from brutalizing MDC Alliance activists.
The ZLHR, in a statement, further said some Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) officers released him from police cells yesterday morning to appear at Harare Magistrates Court “but later made a volte-face.”
