  • Country Advice
    Country Advice Zimbabwe Zimbabwe – ZWE39076 – ZANU-PF – Violence and intimidation – Forced recruitment – Chivhu, East Mashonaland 27 July 2011 1. Please provide information on ZANU-PF related violence, intimidation, and forcible recruitment etc. in and around Chivhu in the period between 2007 - present. There have been a number of instances of violence and intimidation related to Zimbabwe African National Union – Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF) in and around Chivhu since 2007, particularly in the lead-up to and during election campaigns. In June 2011, a Movement for Democratic Change – Tsvangirai (MDC-T) ward chairman in Chivhu was reportedly abducted by suspected ZANU-PF activists, and at the time of writing, his whereabouts remained unknown. Timothy Mugari was abducted following a ZANU-PF rally attended by the ZANU-PF political commissar, who reportedly questioned why the area “was harbouring „sell-outs‟ after seeing a red flag flying at Mugari‟s homestead”. The following day, ZANU- PF activists reportedly asked Mugari why he was flying an MDC-T flag, before forcing him into their vehicle. While the colour red is synonymous with the MDC-T, neighbours reportedly claimed that the flag was not political, and rather represented an apostolic church.1 In April 2011, The Independent reported that ZANU-PF youths had been engaging in acts of intimidation and coercion, and were forcing people to sign an anti-sanctions petition under the pretence that signing said petition was compulsory. School headmasters in Chivhu were reportedly ordered to provide centres for signing, and some shop owners were told that they would lose their licences if they did not sign the petition.

  • Understanding Adaptation to Climate Variability in Smallholder Farming Systems in Eastern Zimbabwe: a Sociological Perspective
    Rev Agric Food Environ Stud https://doi.org/10.1007/s41130-018-0074-9 RESEARCH ARTICLE Understanding adaptation to climate variability in smallholder farming systems in eastern Zimbabwe: a sociological perspective Sandra Bhatasara1 Received: 16 November 2016 /Accepted: 24 May 2018 # INRA and Springer-Verlag France SAS, part of Springer Nature 2018 Abstract The literature on climate change in Zimbabwe continues to grow, but literature specifically focusing on how people in rural communities are responding to it is still comparatively limited. Only a few scholars have sought to offer a reasonably detailed account of farmers’ concerns and adaptation from localised, qualitative case studies based on farmers’ narratives. As such, this article is empirically based, using mainly qualitative data from a broader research on understanding climate variability and livelihood adaptation conducted in Mutoko District in rural Zimbabwe. In doing so, the aim is not only to contribute empirical data to existing knowledge but also more importantly to theorise adaptation sociologically. The main argument is that farmers are reflexively engaged in various adaptive strategies predominantly at the household level not only to adapt to increasing climatic variability but also to simultaneously navigate a difficult socio-economic landscape. The adaptive strategies are underpinned by diverse structures, processes and conditions that are enabling and constraining. Hence adapta- tion is unfolding as a complex and reflexive process under specific socio-spatial conditions. Keywords Climatevariability.Farmers.Adaptation.Adaptationprocesses.Reflexivity Introduction A consistent conclusion among climate change scholars in Zimbabwe is that the country is experiencing both climate change and variability. At the same time, there is emerging evidence that local communities are already grappling with the adverse * Sandra Bhatasara [email protected]; [email protected] 1 Sociology Department, University of Zimbabwe, P.O.

  • An Assessment of the Benefits and Costs of Black Granite Quarrying in Mutoko District, Zimbabwe: a Socio-Cultural, Biophysical and Economic Approach
    Journal of Sustainable Development in Africa (Volume 12, No.3, 2010) ISSN: 1520-5509 Clarion University of Pennsylvania, Clarion, Pennsylvania AN ASSESSMENT OF THE BENEFITS AND COSTS OF BLACK GRANITE QUARRYING IN MUTOKO DISTRICT, ZIMBABWE: A SOCIO-CULTURAL, BIOPHYSICAL AND ECONOMIC APPROACH Tanyaradzwa Chigonda ABSTRACT Mining plays an important role in the socio-economic development of many countries worldwide. However, in spite of its remarkable contribution towards development, mining can also result in some adverse impacts, especially when carried out without proper planning. In this study, the economic, socio-cultural, and biophysical benefits and costs of black granite quarrying were investigated. Two questionnaires, one targeting quarry workers and the other targeting villagers around quarry sites, together with personal interviews with key informants, were used as data gathering instruments. Among the benefits realized in the study area due to black granite quarrying include employment creation, infrastructural development, and revenue generation. Black granite quarrying has also brought with it some costs to the study area including, inter alia, the creation of labor bottlenecks for peasant agriculture, encroachment onto limited prime agricultural land, and the lowering of water tables. Quarrying has also induced some school dropouts, while HIV/AIDS prevalence has reportedly increased with the establishment of the quarries. The study recommends that full Environmental Impact Assessments should be carried out immediately in order to fully identify and enhance the benefits of black granite quarrying and reduce the costs. Keywords: black granite quarrying, benefits and costs, sustainable development. INTRODUCTION The history of mining in Zimbabwe dates back to the 15th century when the people practiced traditional small- scale mining mainly for iron and gold.

  • Perspectives on Land and Water Politics at Mushandike Irrigation Scheme, Masvingo, Zimbabwe
    PERSPECTIVES ON LAND AND WATER POLITICS AT MUSHANDIKE IRRIGATION SCHEME, MASVINGO, ZIMBABWE A Thesis Submitted in Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY RHODES UNIVERSITY BY JONATHAN MAFUKIDZE December 2017 Supervisor: Professor Kirk Helliker Department of Sociology i ABSTRACT Access to, control and ownership of land and water, amongst other natural resources in Zimbabwe, shape and affect rural lives, livelihoods, social relations and social organisation. Rural poverty has been entrenched and exacerbated by, amongst other factors, highly restricted access to these scarce resources. Historically, Zimbabwe’s rural areas (such as communal areas, smallholder irrigation schemes and resettlement areas) have existed as sites of struggles where contestations and negotiations over access to, control or ownership of these resources have taken place. Resultantly, multifaceted and dynamic social relations have been weaved and contested social spaces carved out. In rural Zimbabwe, contestations have tended to be complex, nuanced and intricate, working themselves out in different ways across time and space. In their heightened and more visible state, they have been characterised by violent physical expressions which, in the history of the country, involved two wars of liberation, the First Chimurenga (1896-1897) and the Second Chimurenga (1960s to 1980). The most recent violent manifestation was through nation-wide land invasions, politically christened the Third Chimurenga, which peaked in 2000 and continued sporadically to this day. Few studies on smallholder irrigation schemes in Zimbabwe have focused on understanding how contestations for access to scarce land and water resources are framed and negotiated at the local level. Cognisant of this lacuna, this thesis uses social constructionism in examining, as a case study, Mushandike Smallholder Irrigation Scheme in Masvingo Province in order to understand and analyse how land and water politics occur at the local level.

Tsetse eradication: sufficienc 0_Cover.p65 1 09/07/2003, 1:10 PM Healthier livestock, wealthier people The DFID Animal Health Programme The research strategy of the UK Government’s Department for International Development (DFID) is to generate new knowledge and to promote its uptake and application to improve the livelihoods of poor people. The bilateral component of the strategy is organised as research programmes covering agriculture, forestry, livestock and fisheries, managed by institutions contracted by DFID. The Animal Health Programme is managed by the Centre for Tropical Veterinary Medicine (CTVM), University of Edinburgh, Scotland, under the leadership of Professor Ian Maudlin. The Animal Health Programme’s mission statement: Livestock are vital to the lives and livelihoods of two-thirds of the world’s rural poor – close to 700 million people. But chronic endemic diseases and zoonoses constrain livestock productivity and endanger human health, thereby contributing to the perpetuation of poverty. Bringing together veterinary, medical and social scientists from the UK, Africa and South Asia, DFID’s Animal Health Programme (AHP) funds research leading to better control of these diseases.
