    It was a privilege to shoot & direct this film alongside a brilliant team (💪 more soon) – the subject matter and choices/challenges that we explored can be tough and confronting but reflect a reality that is experienced by so many women in Kenya, and far beyond. #BBCAfricaEye

    #ZimbabweanLivesMatter is trending around the world. If you don’t normally follow developments in Zimbabwe and want to understand what is happening, and why so many Zimbabweans both at home and far beyond are so angry and desperate, here's a thread with some background... 1/

    Sometimes I wonder what’s wrong with expats in Uganda. Selling light bulbs and dustbins online before they move🙄

    Journalist friends around the world – if you're following the Gold Mafia story and the @AJEnglish @AJIunit's documentary roll-out, good to note this as reporters based in Zimbabwe are going to feel a lot less able to talk about it and share findings from the films 👇

    Ladies and Gentlemen, After these continued threats from President Mnangagwa’s spokesman against journalists reporting on the Al Jazeera investigation findings, I won’t be reporting on this story for my own safety. George Charamba has made clear the consequences if we continue.

    Strong threats made against journalists who "repeat" details of Al Jazeera's explosive 'Gold Mafia' documentary, from a semi-anonymous Twitter account that many have identified as belonging to Zimbabwe's presidential spokesperson George Charamba 👇

    Fadzayi Mahere is emerging as one of Africa's most interesting, and important, young leaders. We followed her 2018 independent parliamentary campaign and have since witnessed her rapid political rise. Our in-depth profile of Zimbabwe's @advocatemahere:

    Just found this in a book. Livingstone House, in then Salisbury, now Harare. My grandmother’s first major high-rise project as a structural engineer, started in approx 1957. It possibly was the tallest building south of the Equator for a period but I’d like to verify that!

    This is still the finest dismantlement of Boris Johnson that I have seen in a very long time. This should be shared every single day until we vote on December 12th. #GE2019

    This was a sad piece to write – but glad @mailandguardian made space to remember the courageous @PatsonDzamara, who has died at just 34, searching for his brother to the end. 📷 @nicholesobecki, we met Patson while in Zimbabwe w/ the support of @IWMF.
