He has taught briefly in the Department of Journalism and Media Studies at the National University of Science and Technology (NUST) in Bulawayo where he lives in retirement with his family. Apart from his vast experience as a newspaper editor, Mpofu has as published books that include Shadows on the Horizon (ZPH) and Zambezi Waters Run Still (Harper Collins) and Creatures at the Top (Spiderwize, London) Little Hearts Can Also Dance, is a true story of land reform in Bwezambi country as narrated by the author, Stephen Mpofu. It is a consequence of the armed revolution that secured the country from foreign rule during which millions of peasants in the countryside eked out their existence on tiny and often infertile tracts of land, while white settler farmers occupied vast tracts of fertile land with some of it left unworked for their cattle to range on, like wild animals. The neighbours of Bwezambi country also had land reform plans but these remaine on draw boards as white commercial farmers resisted any moves by government there to repossess some of their land for redistributed to blacks who needed it the most. In Bwezambi country land reform also faced stiff opposition by NeverletgoÍs government and that of the HeadmasterÍs as well as by their cousins abroad, all of whom imposed economic sanctions to try and exact regime change and reverse the reform programme. But since Bwezambi country was ensconced in the implacable grip of GodÍs hand regime change came unstuck and, under immense pressure by the black masses some countries in the region eventually joined in the land dance as little hearts. Thus, Bwezambi country became the leader in the use of land as AfricaÍs main endowment from God for sustainable, social and economic emancipation that other African governments were reluctant to follow only at their own peril.
