I am a multi-media freelance journalist based in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, with well over ten years’ experience in print and radio journalism. I initially pursued a career in teaching, but after an increasing interest in journalism in the intervening years, I went back to college and graduated from a public journalism school in the country in 2002. I share the view of famous British playwright Tom Stoppard who once said: “I still believe that if your aim is to change the world, journalism is a more immediate short-term weapon.” In spite of a seemingly endless and much reported cycle of socioeconomic problems, I believe there is still a lot to report on in Zimbabwe, especially from Bulawayo, the country's second biggest city where I am based. Amidst the doom and gloom that the country’s current situation often evokes, Zimbabweans, who have earned a reputation of being resilient in the face of adversity, still find ways to get by, doing their best to take care of their families’ daily needs, still sending their children to school, holding on to the hope that things shall be better soon. Such a situation, no doubt, provides a rich basis for several inspiring stories, some of which I have been able to capture and keenly strive to continue doing so for as long as I can.

David Muponda, aged 36, I was raised by strict parents who did not believe children must watch TV or films. Storytelling took central stage at home. As a young man, I have had a strong passion for the camera. It fascinates me. I started off using VHS camera at the age of 14 then went on to use High 8. I then turned professional. Since then I have worked on different projects from social to commercial filming. I have been engaged on shorts, drama, feature and documentary film making. In this part of the world where funding has been hard to come by, I have had to go out of my way to mobilize resources to produce the most of my productions. This has seen most of my ideas which were on paper coming to light. Through the lens of a camera I love to explore on my surroundings, connecting the untold story and that of the marginalized people.
