JULIET MUGOTI - Sango reRimuka Does Not Eat Its Own Children is a stage play set in two acts.
Juliet Mugoti has always been ambitious. Born into poverty in Highfields Township, she clawed her way from sewing-thread dreams and pageant-stage hopes to the fringes of Harare's legal elite-only to find herself detoured by love, motherhood, and compromise. Now a consultant with sharp instincts and sharper desires, Juliet is presented with a chance to leap ahead: secure a lucrative contract by persuading her in-laws to allow a development road through their ancestral forest.
But Sango reRimuka (Rimuka Forest) is no ordinary land-it breathes with ancient taboos, sacred wisdom, and untold riches both spiritual and material. At its heart stands Sekuru Chigare Mugoti, Juliet's father-in-law and the forest's guardian, whose authority and lineage bind him to its preservation. As Juliet's ambition collides with tradition, buried secrets, and global greed, she must confront what she's willing to sacrifice-for wealth, for progress, for family.
Set against the vibrant textures of rural and urban Zimbabwe, Juliet Mugoti - Sango reRimuka Does Not Eat Its Own Children is a gripping tale of power, ecology, modernity, and ancestral memory, asking whether the future can truly bloom when the roots are severed.
