Today’s guest is Jameson Timba, a steadfast advocate for democracy whose name has become synonymous with courage, conscience, and conviction in Zimbabwe’s political narrative. A former Minister of State in the Office of the Prime Minister and a current leading figure within the Citizens Coalition for Change, Timba has long stood at the intersection of policy and principle.
This is a man who has not only written legislation but has also lived its consequences, most recently spending over five months in detention for daring to gather and remember the lives of Africa’s children. And yet, through it all, his voice has not wavered. In fact, it has only grown clearer.
Today, we speak with someone who doesn’t just talk about freedom. He risks for it.
