Political Reporter-Zimbabwe’s most admired politician, Nelson Chamisa has shared a nostalgic moment with his followers by posting a rare photo from 1996 during his final year at Victoria High School in Masvingo.

The photo, taken at Tower House, the hostel for sixth-form students, shows a young Chamisa among his peers, radiating the camaraderie of youth. 

Dressed in a half-striped T-shirt, he stands out among a lively group of students posing for what seems to be a cherished memory. 

The image captures a sense of unity and joy, with students smiling, laughing, and gesturing animatedly, creating a timeless snapshot of their school days.

Chamisa posted the image on X (formerly Twitter) on December 23, captioned:

“VICTORIA HIGH SCHOOL 1996… This is Tower House, a hostel for sixth-form students at Vic High. Who have you spotted from this photo?”

The post has drawn widespread attention, with many marvelling at the youthful Chamisa and others reflecting on their own school days.

Just a few years after this picture was taken, Chamisa enrolled at Harare Polytechnic, where his leadership skills began to shine. 

He became one of the leaders of the Student Representative Council (SRC), laying the foundation for his political journey.

His time as a student leader was marked by bold activism and a passion for justice, qualities that have defined his career.

Chamisa rose to national prominence as one of the youngest members of parliament in Zimbabwe. 

Over the years, his eloquence, vision, and charisma have cemented his place as a key figure in the nation’s politics. 

Today, Chamisa remains a symbol of hope and resilience for many Zimbabweans.

This throwback photo offers a glimpse into his formative years and also reminds us of the humble beginnings that shaped the leader he is today.
