MambaOnline recently caught up with Zimbabwean actor, Frank Malaba
Frank Malaba has just returned from Norway where he has showcased his new one-man show, Story of My Bones.
He appears relaxed. Serene. There has been a complete shift in his energy over the last decade. When he speaks, he almost sounds like a shaman, “My activism used to come from a place of anger. Now it comes from a place of compassion, healing and frustration,” he says.
It’s easy to forget that Malaba had to flee Zimbabwe in May 2008 after being publically outed in his own country. Zimbabwean laws are unforgiving and brutal towards the queer community. Malaba had just one week to gather his belongings and cross the border into South Africa or face serious jail time for being gay.

While in South Africa, Malaba acted in the Intersexions series as well as putting on his own small theatre productions. He is also a published poet and playwright.

Instead of hardening him, it seems that his art and activism have turned him onto a spiritual path where the two come together in a divine alchemy. A path that has taken his new
