UK in Zimbabwe
Ambassador Melanie Robinson blogs below after her Skype conversation with Zimbabwean novelist, playwright and filmmaker, Tsitsi Dangarembga.
I’m halfway through This Mournable Body. From ‘I was not sorry when my brother died’ to Tambudzai’s self-loathing for failing to take advantage of her ‘opportunity’, why did Tsitsi choose to make her characters so uncompromising?
She says they reflect the tough conditions so many Zimbabwean women faced growing up in Rhodesia & Zimbabwe, and speak to universal issues. Tsitsi changed literature for good when she made a girl like herself the central character in Nervous Conditions.
Before that, she had only read one book with a black African girl in it (The African Child). She wanted to encourage young girls to take advantage of opportunities opening up in newly independent Zimbabwe.
As the daughter of a mother who was an ambitious feminist in a patriarchal, conservative culture, Tsitsi was aware of the contradictions in life from the start. Her latest book reminds us there's much to do for gender equality & how hard it is for women to go out on a limb.
On creating a vibrant and competitive film industry, as some African countries are beginning to do, Tsitsi’s arguments chimed with Tendai Chitima : tell good, human, aspirational stories. Development films in the 80s/90s made the problems the subject, killing black aspiration.
Politically-commandeered films fail to assert the best of our humanity. ‘Communication is the nervous system of a country’, Tsitsi says. That’s why literature, good film and journalism are so important. #DefendMediaFreedom.
Tsitsi feels euphoria at what #BLM has achieved. But all movements need structures and resources to succeed. The UK’s ‘surprising’ inclusion and diversity rules for arts funding were the way to go, she says. And her publication story shows why you must never give up.
Her Nervous Conditions manuscript had been languishing at Women’s Press in London for several years when she decided she ‘might as well’ chase it down. She took things into her own hands with This Mournable Body, posting excerpts on Facebook. Talent and determination won.

Greening the future: University of Free State PhD student Emmie Chiyindiko from Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 talks green chemistry 🧪, travelling to Cheltenham 🇬🇧 and why recycling ♻️ isn’t enough;
My research looks into how we can make industrial processes more efficient, ultimately reducing the carbon footprint. This branch of social and environmentally conscious chemistry is termed “green chemistry”. Green chemistry applies across the entire life cycle of a chemical product, including its design, manufacture, use, and ultimate discarding. The objective of my research is to reduce pollution at its source by minimizing time and material required to produce energy. I hope to achieve this by studying the synergy between electro analysis and computational chemistry of novel catalysts (materials that speed up chemical reactions).
Phasing out the use of chlorofluorocarbons
Since the Industrial Revolution, human sources of carbon dioxide emissions have been growing. Green chemistry fulfills a fundamental and crosscutting role that is essential to the critical pathway toward sustainability. Green chemistry, or sustainable chemistry, involves developing chemical reactions that give rise to new products and processes that meet sustainability goals, such as becoming more energy-efficient, and reducing the amount of waste or harmful matter found in the environment. Some important examples of green chemistry include phasing out the use of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in refrigerants, which have played a role in creating the ozone hole and use of catalytic converters in motor vehicles.
Best science communicator
I got into Chemistry because of my innate and unquenchable desire to figure out how the universe works. I have always been inquisitive. I was named the national winner and best science communicator in the FameLab 2018 competition supported by British Council. I went on to represent South Africa in the international finals on an all-expense paid trip to Cheltenham, UK. I have received many accolades in my field, including winning our institutional three-minute thesis competition (3MT) and best conference posters but FameLab comes top. I got to travel, meet national finalists from all over the world and build long-lasting professional relationships.
A global problem
Responding to climate change will involve reducing the flow of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and changing aspects of our lifestyle to adapt to the existential climate challenges. Behavioral change like recycling and cycling to the nearby store instead of driving will help, but that alone is not enough. This is because climate change is a global problem with economic, social, political and moral ramifications, the solution will require both a united globally-coordinated response.
Renewable energy potential
Zimbabwe’s heavy reliance on fossil fuels in the transport and energy sector is highly correlated to increased carbon emission. Zimbabwe would benefit from moving away from coal-related investments and instead focus on tapping the potential of renewable energy, such as solar. The clock is ticking on climate change, the world cannot afford to waste more time, and a bold, decisive, ambitious way forward needs to be agreed.
