In 2011, I wrote an opinion piece titled, ‘#revolutionminustheAK47’. In it, I shared the story of Vikas Mavhudzi, a 39-year-old Zimbabwean man who was harassed and spent five months in jail on charges of ‘subverting a constitutional government’. His crime was writing on Cde.

Born in 1981 in Zimbabwe, Kudzanai Chiurai is an internationally acclaimed artist now living and working in Johannesburg, South Africa. He was the first black student to graduate with a BA in Fine Art from the University of Pretoria.
