Artist Lionel Mbayiwa
Year 2025

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.
