Ngano
The inaugural ngano audio series showcases Zimbabweans on the continent and in the diaspora before, during and after the liberation of the country. Historically, African tribes and communities have passed down and taught their historyorally, as narratives and parables defined in Shona as “ngano”. Produced by the “Born Free” generation, this series takes the initiative to document the experiences of the generation that lived through the liberation of Zimbabwe. Through their personal stories, this series, enriches our (collective) understanding of the times, building a more complete picture of what it felt like to live during this significant period of history.
