Lazarus Chigwandali who has faced discrimination for living with albinism began composing songs to fight misperceptions about the genetic condition in a country where more than 100 people with albinism have been attacked since 2014. While some of his songs are playing on local radio stations, Chigwandali says there is still a long way to go before the attacks end.
