Young Zimbabweans are using YouTube to ridicule politicians and educate voters

Retrieved on:

Tuesday, August 22, 2023

One notable social commentator is Taffy Theman (Tafadzwa Ngubozabo), who hosts a popular YouTube channel that uses comedy, music and a live news studio to parody the powers that be.

Key Points:

One notable social commentator is Taffy Theman (Tafadzwa Ngubozabo), who hosts a popular YouTube channel that uses comedy, music and a live news studio to parody the powers that be.
Another is youth media platform Bustop TV, which offers skits, animation and talk shows to express views on social issues in the country.
Magamba TV, meanwhile, creates scathing political satires about politicians.
This signals the effectiveness of the internet and social media as instruments of political activism.

The youth vote

The 2013 elections saw only 8% of eligible Zimbabweans under 30 registering to vote in a poll characterised by violence.
The 2018 elections witnessed a remarkable increase in the number of young people registered to vote.
About 65% of those aged 18-25 and 86% of those aged 26-35 registered to vote.

Social media use

In my research I’ve argued that due to exclusionary politics young Zimbabweans, especially the urban youth, have turned to popular culture and social media.
However, there have been debates among scholars about how effective social media can be as a tool for the expression of political dissent.

Taffy Theman

The 33-year-old Australia-based Zimbabwean YouTuber and comedian Taffy Theman uses mainly parody and satire to offer commentary on Zimbabwean politics.
He releases videos that range from spoof songs to a live news studio that analyses developments among the ruling elite.

Bustop TV and Magamba TV

Bustop TV and Magamba TV are social media houses that feature young people who use social media, comedy and satire for political dissent and to caricature political leaders.
Bustop TV has also gathered young Zimbabweans to hear their views on the 2023 elections, creating The People’s Bus, a talk show format.

Change and Hope

Despite this, some young voters express a belief that change is still possible and that young Zimbabweans have a responsibility to participate in elections to bring about that change.
Despite their scathing portrayals, the new social media creators discussed here have maintained a vigorous optimism, urging young Zimbabweans to register to vote or arguing for them to vote for change.
