Grateful to SABC SAfmRadio, one of South Africa's leading public radio stations, for featuring our work recently published in The Conversation Africa on Great Zimbabwe and the important conversation around debunking long-standing myths of tyrants and forced labour

[Robert T. Nyamushosho @NyamushoshoRob]

What if we have been telling the wrong story about Great Zimbabwe?

For generations, Great Zimbabwe has been portrayed as the seat of a despotic kingdom. This narrative has done more than shape interpretations of the past. @AfricanArchhub
