In Kunanzwa Mbinga, Mbayiwa examines Zimbabwe’s culture of wealth and power—where “Mbinga” refers to the flashy elite whose riches often come shrouded in mystery. The artist exposes the spectacle of excess: money thrown in the streets, influence flaunted, and dignity traded for proximity to privilege. Through biting irony, the work critiques a society where economic collapse has bred opportunism, and survival often means submission. Mbayiwa captures both the allure and the emptiness of this new moral economy.
