Show Notes

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.
