A Broken Nation

A Broken Nation is Mbayiwa’s powerful reflection on Zimbabwe’s ongoing decline. It captures the frustration of a generation emerging from an education system that offers little hope, and a health sector stripped of basic resources. At its core lies the concept of septa—ancestral wisdom once passed down to guide and sustain society. In today’s climate of corruption and self-preservation, that wisdom has lost its voice, reduced to a distant echo of what should be. By depicting leaders “with their heads in the sand,” Mbayiwa exposes a nation in denial. His work becomes both a critique and a call to action—a plea for accountability, truth, and collective renewal.
