Millions of Zimbabweans could not celebrate the Valentine on February 14, but Shamiso Matema -- who works as a secretary in the city centre -- said she still believed love can conquer all. So the incurable romantic saved up for three months, in order to take her boyfriend out for dinner on Valentine's Day.
Voice of America met with Shamiso Matema before the Valentine's Day.
"Yes I still believe in love," she says. "It's now difficult socially, economically it's difficult to get money, it's difficult to find basic food commodities but we still need love, love keeps us going."
Additionally, Matema says part of her savings will go towards a new outfit and hairdo so she looks spectacular when whispering those magical three little words.
"I love you."
