    Democratising Communication: Media Activism and Media Reform in Zimbabwe Witwatersrand University School of Literature, Language and Media Studies PhD (Media Studies) By Alfandika Last 148306 This thesis is submitted to the Faculty of Humanities, University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Media Studies i Declaration I, Last Alfandika, hereby declare that this thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Media Studies at the University of Witwatersrand has not been submitted for a Degree at this or any other University, that it is my own work in design and execution, and that all reference material contained herein has been duly acknowledged. ………………………… …………………………. Signature ii Abstract Media policy reform in Zimbabwe should be able to liberate rather than limit the public sphere long “captured” by narrow interest of the ruling class before and after independence in 1980. While some authors have regarded media activism as critical in the creation of the public sphere, not much is known beyond this particular materialistic aspect. The wider importance of media activism to the fight for media reform and democracy in Zimbabwe is ignored in literature. In addition, media activism in Zimbabwe has not been adequately documented leading to little understanding of the practice. Against this background, the study seeks to ascertain the degree and extent to which media activism has led to media reform and democratisation in Zimbabwe through the lens of Gramsci’s theory of hegemony and the Social movement theory of Resource Mobilisation (RMT). Using personal interviews, the examination of media activists and government documents, and journalists’ articles, this study examines the extent to which media activism influences media reform and democracy in Zimbabwe.

APRIL 2020 Abstract Emerging from strong capitalist base, the Zimbabwean economy from 1980 adopted a dual model characterised by a co-existence of capitalism and socialism. An economic identity crisis ensued with socialism largely in rhetoric and capitalism remaining the main economic system. Socialism was conveniently applied where the government stood to benefit, for example keeping already existing state owned enterprises while nationalising those deemed strategic. An economic crisis that was already evident in 1980 intensified in the following decades and still persists. The crisis has only taken different shapes and intensity over the years.
