About this episode

Bongani Bingwa speaks with Calvin Ratladi, Director of Breakfast with Mugabe, about the upcoming play that explores the tumultuous final years of Robert Mugabe's presidency in Zimbabwe. The production delves into Zimbabwe's precarious state, torn between its storied past and current decline. It portrays Mugabe's transformation from a celebrated liberation hero to a leader consumed by paranoia, haunted by his past, and struggling with his own mental unravelling. The play will be performed on July 16th at The Market Theatre.
