 MUKAI - VUKANI

JESCOM publishes Mukai – Vukani (meaning Wake Up!), the Jesuit Journal for Zimbabwe.   This is an in-house magazine distributed freely to Jesuits and friends five times a year, with a circulation of 2000 copies. This journal is a continuation of the 21 editions of Mukai published by Jesuits just for themselves in the 1990s.  The “new” Mukai has now reached No 59.

About the JESCOM and its Journal

• Mukai-Vukani Jesuit Journal for Zimbabwe serves as a Bulletin for Theological Reflection among Jesuits in Zimbabwe and their friends.

• It tries to help us answer the question, "What direction do we have to follow in the light of the Word of God at this moment in time?"

• It facilitates dialogue among Jesuits and their friends based on study, prayer and discernment.

• Mukai-Vukani welcomes letters to the editor and articles of not more than 1200 words from among its readers.

• It is keen to provide a platform to discuss the present situation in Zimbabwe – where media are shackled, people are without access to information and unable to express alternative views.

• JESCOM also provides other interested media organisatios with information on Jesuits and their work in Zimbabwe.

• The Jesuit Communications office is supported by a supervisory board which also acts as editorial board for Mukai-Vukani.

• JESCOM  always welcomes young Jesuits interested in media work. It hopes to be able to network with other Jesuit media workers and communicators on the continent.

• Gift Mambipiri is editorial assistant, Frashishiko Chikosi administrator and Priscilla Mapfuwa secretary.

• JESCOM  cooperates with the Dominican Life-Lines project, which produces videos, CDs, DVDs under its director, Sister Tendai Makonese OP.

IN TOUCH with Church and Faith

From its Harare office, Jesuit Communications sends out a twice monthly  electronic newsletter,                  IN TOUCH with Church and Faith.

The newsletter gives information on the Jesuits and the Church in Zimbabwe.

A special feature is the series ‘Mbare Report’, in which the editor writes on life in this socially depressed working-class district. IN TOUCH goes out to different parts of Zimbabwe, as well as Zimbabweans in the diaspora. Some publications outside the country take up its material bringing it to a wider audience.
