Kwekwe human rights activist Nkosilathi Emmanuel Moyo has written a book dedicated towards Ukrainian refugees who fled the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war whom he met during his recent stay in Germany.
Moyo said the book titled, ICH BIN KAPUTT, is an English poetry collection with a German title (ICH BIN KAPUTT) which means, l am tired or exhausted.
“I started writing the book in Golitzer Park, Berlin in Germany after listening to stories of Ukrainian refugees who fled the war,”Moyo said.
“We had a good exchange during my stay in Germany and l used to cry hearing te the heart-rending stories of the refugees. Those stories informed this anthology.”
He said proceeds from the book would go towards the welfare of the refugees.
“The book will be sold for eight euros and the proceeds will be directed towards my special refugees and homeless people in Kruezberg, Berlin, Golitzer Park in particular,”he said.
Moyo said the book will be officially launched in Berlin anytime soon.
Moyo is not new to publishing books that focus on human rights, democracy and good governance.
In 2018 he released a book title, Dismantling the System of Mugabeism, that took a dig at the “undemocratic systems” in government left during and after the rule of former president Robert Mugabe.
In the book Moyo argued that what happened in November 2017 when Mugabe was removed from power was not a people’s revolution but the ruling party solving it’s succession wars with President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s faction-Team Lacoste- backed by the military.
The human rights campaigner has published other books criticising Mugabe and the Zanu PF led government. The books include Robert Mugabe:from Freedom Fighter To The People’s Enemy, The Rise of Grace Mugabe-The Fall of Zanu PF and Zimbabwe:A Revolution Waiting To Happen.
In 2016 Moyo hogged limelight after sending Mugabe prison garb as a birthday present.
