Comrade Fatso is a co-founder of the Mamba Network, which was established in 2007 to use creativity and culture to mobilise youth in Zimbabwe amid political and economic crises.

In conversation with Prof. Moyo, Cde reflects on the journey of the network and its growth into a pan-African creative community, which has expanded its focus to digital media, civic technology, and climate justice initiatives. Talking points include...
• The ways that the Magamba promotes tech initiatives for social and environmental impact.
• Reflection on an initiative where young creators used comedy as a means of social commentary.
• How digital media supported independent voices in Zimbabwe.
• Mamba's long-standing relationship with Zim Alliance has fostered civil society initiatives.
