Synopsis

Set in the 1990s Zimbabwe, Violet Kala’s Waste Not Your Tears, is the moving story of a powerless African woman who – thanks to both her own folly and circumstances beyond her control – inevitably succumbs to the cruelty, dirt, and filth of an unfriendly urban lifestyle.

Review

It is a teary story that will break your heart, yes, but it will also remind you that we still have a long way to go as far as winning the war against HIV AIDs is concerned in Africa. - Levi Cheruo Cheptora, Africanwriter.com
