The Lies and Obfuscations We Are Asked to Swallow

What do Donald Trump’s 2025 inauguration and Zimbabwe’s recent history have in common? Both are a study in bold declarations, deep divisions, deliberate lies and obfuscations, and the enduring complexity of power. While one stirs headlines, the other stirs the soul — sometimes in ways that are hard to swallow.

As 2025 dawns, Zimbabwe finds itself at another crossroads. The national dialogue about accountability for the Gukurahundi atrocities has reignited, with calls for reparations gaining momentum. For a nation still healing, this is a step toward reckoning with its past — a journey that forms the heart of my latest book, A Moment of Madness.

Set during the turbulent years following independence, the novel explores how power can corrupt and how truth, though often buried, eventually demands its day. If you're looking for a gripping read that pairs well with a glass of wine (or tea, for the abstainers among us), why not give it a try?
