Play re-enacts January shootings

THE opening of Jasen Mphepo Little Theatre last week in Harare came along with the premiere of an emotional play, Inside Out, which touched on political and socio-economic challenges affecting ordinary Zimbabweans. The country has become a zone for mass protests, state security brutality, fuel shortages and poor healthcare services.

With a cast of 15, Inside Out is centred on the January 2019 protests which were characterised by looting and killing of civilians following President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s decision to hike fuel prices by over 150%.
