In the introduction to Surviving Zimbabwe Cathy writes: "I've lost count of how many thousands of people have asked me why I stay. More appropriately for millions of Zimbabweans is the question: how do you stay?" Surviving Zimbabwe is a collection of anecdotes, memories, hints and tips on how we survived a collapsing country. How we learnt not to depend on authorities but to barter and swop, pay school fees with sacks of meat, shop across borders, find our own sources of electricity and water, take our own bandages, medicines and injections if we went to hospital. We learned to cook over open fires, grow our own food, dig our own graves and at night, we sat around by candle light listening to wind up radios. Surviving Zimbabwe tells the stories of how we survived, and continue to survive a country in crisis.
