Zibusiso Munandi is the founder of Abangane Platforms. He is a mental health accountability advocate working in the community of Mpopoma in Bulawayo. Zibusiso is motivated to help young people in his community to access psychosocial services. He aims to help his community demand access to services by organizing engagement platforms for awareness and discussion about his contemporaries’ mental health challenges. He also intends to equip young people with the knowledge they need to actively participate in these platforms by building a tech hub to provide access to information and skill for youth in digital literacy. He believes a lack of knowledge and understanding about mental health in Mpopoma has resulted in stigmas about the issue and fostered discrimination against people with mental health disorders.
