Zimbabwe Heritage At Risk

Zimbabwean heritage specialist Taurai Mudzudzi shares a selection of significant heritage sites across his country that are increasingly at risk from conflicting land use, neglect, and environmental change.

Through these compelling stories, Taurai issues a call for greater awareness, protection, and support for Zimbabwe’s rich community heritage. Too often overlooked and undervalued in contemporary society, these places hold profound cultural, historical, and social significance. They are not only witnesses to the nation’s past but also lie at the heart of Zimbabwe’s enduring sense of identity, belonging, and collective memory.

These stories were curated while Taurai was a student on the MA in Cultural Heritage and Archaeological Resource Management at the University of Winchester, UK.
