Cymba

Thank you for joining us for Cymba’s interview.

Born in Zimbabwe in the early 1980s, Cymba developed a talent for playing football from the age of 7 years old. He fondly recalls his close bond with his Grandmother, who worked for the Zimbabwean Broadcasting Corporation (ZBC) and enabled Cymba to start playing with the ZBC men’s football team from an early age…

Following on from ATF’s 2020 exhibition We Were There, People Like Us explores the rich stories, memories and experiences of local people who have moved to Essex, UK from many other places around the globe.

Thank you to everyone who so generously shared their time and memories to create this exhibition.

The exhibition is best viewed on a PC but also works fine on mobile devices.

We’d love to know how you feel about this exhibition - Contact us here

Huge thanks to Heritage Fund UK who have made this exciting project possible.
