Editorial Zimbabwe News Vol. 10 No. 2 The Sinoia Tradition Andrew Young, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, has universally become notorious for saying things other more practised diplomats have long learned to shun. Recently, he was at it again. Confiding to a friend, he said, "the trouble with Robert Mugabe is that he is thoroughly and completely incorruptible". Now, that is a very naughty thing to say indeed. Ambassador Young will, sooner or later, have to learn that in imperialist societies certain truths, like children, are to be seen but never heard. His black free spirit must, with deliberate speed, be tamed so it can, in turn, tame his tongue. That is the sterner stuff of which statesmen are made! The Robert Mugabe about whom he speaks is, fortunately, not a world statesman. He has not those ambitions. The Zimbabwe he seeks to liberate is only 151,000 square miles and has 7 million people. Although by African Standards Zimbabwe is fairly well-off in natural resources, 88 years of capitalist subjugation has left its population divided along racial lines, poor, uneducated, angry and frustrated. Only the poor, oppressed, dispossessed, colonized and exploited know that these man-created afflictions are most undiplomatic indeed. The true leader, in these circumstances, must tell it like it is. The truth may not be sterner stuff of which statesmen are made, but it is the bed-rock upon which all subjugated and poor peoples can stand, solidly on their two feet, and cry-out to the world, "I am ..

  • Zimbabwe Annual Budget Review for 2016 and the 2017 Outlook
    ZIMBABWE ANNUAL BUDGET REVIEW FOR 2016 AND THE 2017 OUTLOOK Presented to the Parliament of Zimbabwe on Thursday, July 20, 2017 by The Hon. P. A. Chinamasa, M.P. Minister of Finance and Economic Development 1 1 2 FOREWORD In presenting the 2017 National Budget on 8 December 2016, I indicated the need to strengthen the outline of the Budget Statement presentation as an instrument of Budget accountability and fiscal transparency, in the process improving policy engagement and accessibility for a wider range of public and targeted audiences. Accordingly, I presented a streamlined Budget Statement, and advised that extensive economic review material, which historically was presented as part of the National Budget Statement, would now be provided through a new publication called the Annual Budget Review. I am, therefore, pleased to unveil and Table the first Annual Budget Review, beginning with Fiscal Year 2016. This reports on revenue and expenditure outturn for the full fiscal year, 2016. Furthermore, the Annual Budget Review also allows opportunity for reporting on other recent macro-economic developments and the outlook for 2017. As I indicated to Parliament in December 2016, the issuance of the Annual Budget Review, therefore, makes the issuance of the Mid-Term Fiscal Policy Review no longer necessary, save for exceptional circumstances requiring Supplementary Budget proposals. 3 Treasury will, however, continue to provide Quarterly Treasury Bulletins, capturing quarterly macro-economic and fiscal developments, in addition to the Consolidated Monthly Financial Statements published monthly in line with the Public Finance Management Act. This should avail the public with necessary information on relevant economic developments, that way enhancing and supporting their decision making processes, activities and engagement with Government on overall economic policy issues.

DESCRIPTORS Case Studies; Comparative Analysis; Developing Nations; *Educational Policy; Educational Research; *Females; Foreign Countries; Gender Issues; *Government Role; Nondiscriminatory Education; Sex Fairness; *Womens Education IDENTIFIERS Malawi; Tanzania; Zimbabwe ABSTRACT This report presents research findings about the intellectual, political, and organizational processes that have shaped government and donor policies and projects concerned with promoting the education of women and girls in Malawi, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe. The study seeks to assess the extent to which gender interventions in education have been donor driven. The growing concern about large and persistent gender inequalities in education has led to the development of a number of initiatives on the part of multilateral and bilateral aid agencies aimed at encouraging the participation of women and girls in education. Despite this concern, efforts to reduce gender inequalities on the part of both governments and donor agencies have been uneven and policy interventions have evolved in a piecemeal fashion. In order to explore the reasons for the limited progress that has been made in improving girls' education in most developing countries, this study focuses on policy formulation and implementation with respect to girls' education in the three low income African countries.

The theme of succession, both of the State Presidency and the leadership of ZANU PF, increasingly bedevils all matters relating to the political stability of Zimbabwe and any form of transition to democracy. The constitutional issues related to the death (or infirmity) of the President have been dealt with in several reports by the Research and Advocacy Unit (RAU). If ZANU PF is to select the nominee to replace Robert Mugabe, as the state constitution presently requires, several problems need to be considered. The ZANU PF nominee ought to be selected in terms of the ZANU PF constitution.

Dit is 'n studie waaruit iets gebore moes word en groei. Die kind moes groat word. Niemand kon my regtig help om die kind groat te maak of voorse wat ek moet doen nie. Daar was slegs enkele riglyne of bakens en baie ondersteuning. Hierdie was 'n prosesmatige studie. Ek het ervaar hoe dit ontluik, ontwikkel en soms halsstarrig raak. Ek het soms slapelose nagte daaroor gehad en soms opwinding oar nuwe ervarings en ontdekkings. In hierdie moment-tot-moment en selfrefleksiewe proses was daar gelukkig mense wat dit makliker gemaak het.

    © University of the West of England Do not reproduce or redistribute in part or whole without seeking prior permission from the Rhodesian Forces oral history project coordinators at UWE Alison Ruffell Brought up in London. Trained as a nurse in London. Was admitted to the Sunshine Scheme and travelled out to Rhodesia in 1974. Soon afterwards, left nursing to join the Rhodesian Army, undertaking a mixture of administrative work, training and nursing. Remained in the Army until beyond independence. Shortly afterwards, transferred to the British Army. This is Annie Berry interviewing Alison Miller, now Alison Ruffell, on Monday the 3rd of August 2009 in London. Thank you very much for coming along today. Perhaps you could begin by explaining how you came to be in Rhodesia initially? I did nurse training in London and wanted to have a year out of the country to get some experience before I went back to my hospital, to work there again. There was the Sunshine Scheme in those days where they paid for nurses to go out to Rhodesia for a year. They would pay their fare both ways and give them a job for a year, so I signed up to the Sunshine Scheme and went out as a nurse. Was this scheme always for Rhodesia? Yes, I don’t know if there were other countries but I knew a Rhodesian family and they were over in the UK and we were just sort of generally chatting about what I was going to do and they mentioned the possibility and showed me where to go.
