Opinions

Opinion articles are any write up which is between 300 - 500 words and is not intended as an interview or feature. Opinions are by far the most numerous on the site and we like them short, candid and opinionated. We encourage all members of the society to get into the habit of writing and getting heard. We are looking for as much content from Zimbabwe as we can get which gives the viewer a wide spectrum of Zimbabwe arts and culture.

Interviews

Our interviews seek to be candid and we like our interviewee to relax and tell us what is on their mind. We also encourage our visitors to carry out their own interviews which will be published on the site. Short and relevant. You can be creative on how you go about it. We would require that you supply details so we can confirm the interviews took place.

Features

The feature story is usually a more in depth article which will have 500 - 1000 words. These are usually more detailed and less candid but are more likely to be thought provoking and a call to some kind of action. If you have an article that you may consider to be of relevance to the youth in Zimbabwe and Africa then feel free to contribute.
