Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. Kwekwe human rights activist Emmanuel Nkosilathi Moyo has written a poetry book dedicated to Ukrainian refugees whom he recently met in Germany after they fled from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war.
In an interview with Standard Style, Moyo said the book titled, ICH BIN KAPUTT, is an English poetry collection with a German title (ICH BIN KAPUTT) which he said translates to “l am exhausted” or “l am broken” in English.
“I was in Germany recently and started writing the book in Golitzer Park, Berlin after listening to stories of Ukrainian refugees who fled the war,”Moyo said.
“During my stay there (in Germany) l had a chance to meet the refugees and shared their experiences about the war and it saddened me after hearing their heart-rending stories. Those stories about the war informed this anthology.”
He said proceeds from the book would go towards the welfare of the refugees.
“The book will be sold for eight euros and the proceeds will be directed towards the refugees and homeless people in Kruezberg, Berlin and Golitzer Park in particular,”he said.
Moyo said the book will soon be officially launched in Berlin.
Moyo is not new to publishing books that focus on human rights, democracy and good governance.
In 2018 he released a book title, Dismantling the System of Mugabeism, that took a dig at the “undemocratic systems” in government left during and after the rule of former president Robert Mugabe.
In the book Moyo argued that what happened in November 2017 when Mugabe was removed from power was not a people’s revolution but the ruling party solving it’s succession wars with President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s faction-Team Lacoste- backed by the military.
The human rights campaigner has published other books criticising Mugabe and the Zanu PF led government.
The books include Robert Mugabe: From Freedom Fighter To The People’s Enemy, The Rise of Grace Mugabe-The Fall of Zanu PF and Zimbabwe:A Revolution Waiting To Happen.
In 2016 Moyo courted controversy after sending Mugabe prison garb as a birthday present.
