Location
Wimbabwa
Wimbabwa registers as a small, rural village that anchors a family's history of abduction, sale, and unpaid labor. The place hangs heavy in speech and memory: earth roads, distant rooster calls, and the muffled geometry of communal life compress into a single accusatory name. It functions as a moral wound in political argument, converting abstract policy into the tangible weight of loss — a birthplace that registers theft, intergenerational trauma, and the arithmetic of reparations whenever it is invoked.
