“The Two Leaders I Know”

This is the story of Daves Guzha’s life under the shared rule of Ian Smith and Robert Mugabe. The story begins when Daves is only 9 years old, living through the years of Zimbabwe’s Liberation War, to a peaceful Zimbabwe after its independence from British rule still muddled with sanctions, food shortages, price controls and finally to the Zimbabwe we have all come to know. The history of his native country has left him confused, wondering what his life would have become had it not been for his country’s history – bloody and peaceful. Should he hope for a better future – and what future would that be with only half his life left to live – or hope for a peaceful ending, going to his grave with only what his country has dished out to him. Should he be envious of a child, from a different country, half his age, whose tender years have been influenced by the same number of leaders and possibly more – a child whose life is certain to be influenced by at least four leaders by the time he reaches Daves age? What difference would it make? Are all lives influenced by Politics? Do we blame politics for the lives we’ve managed to shape? Are we all a result of the politics of our countries? Do we consider the possibilities? After the performance there are discussion about the criticat situation in Zimbabwe with the actor.
