chiwoniso i think wakanaka zvekuti

[leftysergeant]

She is a very beautiful woman, beyond her good looks. She has talent and an amazing voice, and she is not afraid to raise that voice in opposition to a power she seems to think is corrupt. That takes a particular inner strewngth that is to be admired when it appears. Yes, it can be dangerous, but true art is not for the timid.
