Mujinga is a perzine began in 2002. It started with issue 23 and the editor, Mujinga, is slowly counting down to issue zero. A typical issue contains a range of things, which may include essays, reviews, artwork, short fiction, rants and haiku. All issues are photocopied and black and white. They tend to be 24 pages, half-size. Information on issues from 23 to 17 is scarce because Mujinga burnt all his copies when he moved country in 2003. Issue 13 is slated to come out in July 2007.
