UN Women – HeForShe Campaign Animation

UN Women Zimbabwe needed a powerful animation to engage men and boys as allies in achieving gender equality without alienating male audiences.

Hivos – Women in Leadership Explainer Video

Despite Zimbabwe's constitutional guarantees of gender equality, women's representation at local government levels had dropped 3%, revealing systemic barriers to political participation. Nafuna Africa created a strategic explainer video for Hivos Zimbabwe's Women Empowered for Leadership (WE4L) programme that visualized discriminatory narratives, patriarchal cultural practices, and isolation of women leaders.

Outspoken – Marvelous Man

Nafuna Africa directed and animated the music video for "Marvelous Man," a powerful track by Outspoken (Tongai Makawa)—a pioneering Zimbabwean hip-hop poet, activist, and co-founder of the influential Magamba Network.

The RoundUp EP04 | Digital Satire Production

As digital satire began taking root in Zimbabwe as a powerful tool for social and political commentary, Nafuna Africa produced Episode 4 of "The RoundUp," a satirical news recap show.

Elevating Zimbabwe’s Boldest Talk Show with Cinematic Production

“Tonight with Zororo” had already built a reputation as Zimbabwe’s most daring late-night show; Episode 13 needed to raise the bar again. Nafuna Africa handled full production, from multi-camera on set to original motion-graphic openers, delivering an episode that achieved record online engagement and further cemented the show’s cult status.

DW Animations | Educational Broadcast Series

Deutsche Welle Akademie needed to transform traditional journalism training manuals into dynamic, engaging content for aspiring multimedia journalists across Southern Africa.

Vigilance Music

Winky D “Ngirozi” Music Video | Custom 2D Illustration

"Ngirozi," a standout track from Winky D's acclaimed album Gombwe, broke new ground by fusing Zimdancehall with the traditional choral sound of the renowned gospel group Vabati VaJehova.

The Couch – “Madam Boss Finally Speaks Out!”

For this standout season finale of the hit digital series "The Couch," we had the opportunity to feature Tyra Chikocho, popularly known as Madam Boss—one of Zimbabwe's most celebrated comedians, actresses, and social media personalities.

#263Urban Documentary

A deep dive into the Zimbabwean urban music scene.

Teaching Malaria Prevention to Millions Through Mobile-First Animation

With over five million Zimbabweans living in malaria-endemic areas, the Zimbabwe Assistance Program in Malaria (ZAPIM) needed health education that could cut through literacy barriers and reach people where they are – on their phones. Nafuna Africa created a series of mobile-optimised animations in English, Shona, and Ndebele that turned prevention guidelines into relatable, character-driven stories.

Using Animation to Help Change Zimbabwe’s Child Marriage Law

Despite constitutional protections, 31% of Zimbabwean girls were still being married before the age of 18. Veritas, a leading legal think tank, needed a way to turn dense constitutional arguments into a story that ordinary citizens – and judges – could feel. Nafuna Africa responded with a trauma-informed 2D animation that placed a young girl at the centre of the narrative while quietly weaving in hard legal analysis.

Giving Zimbabwe’s Informal Workers a Voice on the National Stage

When the Zimbabwe Chamber of Informal Economy Associations (ZCIEA) needed to show the true scale and human reality of the informal sector, they turned to Nafuna Africa for a documentary that policymakers could not ignore. We embedded our crew directly in markets, construction sites, and trading zones to capture honest stories from the people who keep Zimbabwe’s economy moving, then paired those narratives with sharp data visualisation that made the numbers impossible to dismiss.

Explaining Africa

Explaining Africa is Nafuna's flagship educational animation series that reclaims African narratives from colonial interpretation, delivering rigorous, visually compelling explanations of Africa's vast historical, cultural, and spiritual legacy to global audiences. Beginning with our inaugural episode on the Great Zimbabwe Birds—exploring the sacred symbols that represent pre-colonial African kingship, spiritual connection, and national identity—Explaining Africa investigates African kingdoms and political systems, traditional spirituality and cosmology, scientific and mathematical achievements, art movements, trade networks, and oral storytelling traditions.

Blending Animation and Live Action for Winky D’s ‘Vashakabvu’

For “Vashakabvu”, Winky D wanted a music video that could hold its own against global visuals while staying rooted in Zimbabwean reality. Nafuna Africa directed and animated a hybrid live-action and 2D piece that stitched performance, character animation, and VFX into a cohesive tribute to memory and loss – and it crossed one million views within two weeks of release.
