Munyu Wevhu is a powerful mixed-media tribute to the everyday strength of Zimbabwean women. Zenda depicts a mother carrying her child, a timeless Shona symbol of care, duty, and identity. Painted over the words “Salt of the Earth,” the work draws on the Shona meaning of munyu—salt as preservation, wisdom, and stability. A tender detail shows the baby eating a banana, expressing trust and nourishment. Through layered textures and bold colour, Zenda honours motherhood as quiet heroism, carrying culture and life forward, generation to generation.
