Think With Me

Fungai Neni is a blog that discusses life issues from the perspective of a young Zimbabwean woman, Fungai Machirori. With a particular focus on gender issues in Zimbabwe, the blog is both daring and honest in a society that tends to be conservative and unwilling to open up to discuss the realities of life. In just over 18 months, Fungai Neni has grown to attract a membership of almost 100 subscribers and has achieved almost 45 000 visits. Indeed, the blog is proving that blogging and new media has a place in Zimbabwe’s media landscape – not only as a means of getting an important message across, but also as a way of bypassing the highly censored media environment in my country that favours silence over honesty and openness.
