‘The End of Memory’ by Miroslav Volf, which begins with a detailed account of his terrible memories of being interrogated by ‘Captain G’ in Yugoslavia, is the source of his public theological concept of memory. In light of Volf’s public theology of memory, the article addressed the issue of what should be done for Zimbabweans who witnessed the public tragedies of Gukurahundi, Fast Tracked Land Reform Program, Murambatsvina, election-related conflicts and death. Every one of these people has a slightly unique story to tell. Stories on social injustice in Zimbabwe can be told from different kinds of angles. Aspects of Volf’s theology of memory that encourage the development of both new narratives and memories of social injustice narratives are discussed in the article’s conclusion. The article examines social justice in Zimbabwe through an interpretation of Miroslav Volf's public theology of memory. Miroslav Volf's theology will be used as a point of departure and critique in this article, along with a mixed approach to qualitative research and the gathering and analysis of relevant research data.
