Moyo, District Chairman Cde. E.M.Chafesuka and Branch Chairman Cde. D. Mudzonga welcomed me and gave me their support, assistance and advice, without which my work would have Been impossible. My greatest debt is to Village Chairman Penias Katsvete who accepted me into his family and looked after me with great concern and affection. Without him, his wives and his children, I would have learned far less than I did about what it means to be a member of Dande society. Of the many others who gave of their time and knowledge, I am especially grateful to Mutswairo Fumhe, William Madzivah, Kaitano Goredema, Daveson Kwainona, Isaac Maudzenga and my research assistant Lazarus Basiyao who helped me to learn ChiKorekore and accompanied me on many gruelling journeys through the Valley. In Harare« Professor G. Chavanduka and Dr. M.F.C. Bourdillon of the University of Zimbabwe granted me affiliate status in the Department of Sociology. I am grateful for their interest and encouragement. Dr. D.N. Beach and Mr. A. Hodza, also of the University of Zimbabwe, both allowed me access to their unpublished materials and the benefit of their contrasting views on mediums, tradition and history. I am grateful also to Dr. S.I. Mudenge of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, for sharing with me a little of his knowledge of the Portuguese documentation of Dande in the 18th and 19th centuries. Cde. Mayor Urimbo M.P. and Air Vice-Marshall Cde. Josiah Tungamirai discussed many aspects of the organization of the resistance with me. Cde. Mayor Urimbo supplied me with letters of accreditation from ZANU (PF) which greatly facilitated the first months of my research. Mr. J. White, Mr. C.J.K. Latham and Mr. R. Faulkner all spared time to give me insights into the organization of the Security Forces during the years of the war. To Mrs. V. Kamba and Mr. D. Munjere of the National Archives, Harare I owe an especial debt for incorporating parts of my research into their Oral History programme and supplying me with excellent transcripts of the many tape recordings I have deposited in their collection. Phyllis Johnson and David Martin of the Zimbabwe Publishing House provided me with a room in which to live and work while in Harare, as well as arranging a number of meetings and interviews. Thanks also to Margarita Vismara, Laurence and Sue Bartlett and Andy Moyse. In London: Without the advice and encouragement of my supervisors, Dr. Maurice Bloch and Professor Jean La Fontaine, the last four years would have been far less invigorating and productive than they have been. Professor T.O. Banger, of the University of Manchester, gave me extremely useful advice before the start of my field work. Dr. Hazel Carter, of the School of Oriental and African Studies, has assisted me on a number of points of trans­ lation especially from the ChiKunda and ChiDema dialects. My field work and research were funded by the Social Science Research Council and the Central Research Fund of the University of London. The Radcliffe-Brown Memorial Fund awarded me a sum towards the preparation of this thesis. I am grateful to all three of these organizations. The maps were drawn by Hannah Walden. The thesis was typed with exemplary speed and precision by Mrs. Hilda Jarrett. My thanks to them both. Michael Stewart, Dr. Byron Foster, Judith Cornell and, especially, Nicholas Wright, have all listened to this thesis being thought out either in London, in Harare or in Dande. Many of their suggestions and criticisms have been silently incorporated. I am grateful to them all. ABSTRACT This thesis deals primarily -with two groups of people in the Dande region of the Zambezi Valleyi the Korekore and the Tande, a sub-group of the Tavara. The ruling royal lineages of these people claim descent from ancestors, known as mhondoro, who are believed to control the fertility of 'spirit provinces' the ritual territories into which the chieftaincies are divided. The authenticity of the mediums of these ancestral spirits depends on support received indirectly from the chiefs through their headmen. As the testing procedures for a medium require the recitation of the history of the royal lineage down to the present incumbent, and as one function of the medium is the selection of the successors to a chieftaincy, the authorities of chief and medium are interdependant. As a consequence, the history of the territory is thought of as the history of the royal lineage and ownership of the territory appears to be inevitably within its control. During the colonial period (1890 to 1979)» the chiefs were incorporated into the white-dominated state as low level administrators. Powerless to prevent the large-scale loss of land and forced resettlement, as well as taxation and forced labour, they were believed by the people of Dande to have betrayed their followers and to have been rejected by the ancestors. With the rise of the nationalist movements, reaching a climax with the entry of the guerillas into Dande, the insurgents were incorporated into the ritual and symbolic frameworks tfhich had previously been occupied by the chiefs. This incorporation was effected through the agency of the spirit mediums thus allowing the perpetuation of the traditional symbolism of political authority. As the ideology of the guerillas promoted the ownership of the land and control of the political process by all categories of people irrespective of ancestry, the symbolism of the royal lineage was expanded to refer to all the people of Dande, and that of the spirit province to refer to the emergent state of Zimbabwe which was believed to have been taken under the protection of the ancestors.

    AN IN -DEPTH STUDY ON THE IMPACT OF OPERATION MUR AMBATSVINA/RESTORE ORDER IN ZIMBABWE “Primum non Nocere”: The traumatic consequences of “Operation Murambatsvina”. ActionAid International in collaboration with the Counselling Services Unit (CSU), Combined Harare Residents’ Association (CHRA) and the Zimbabwe Peace Project (ZPP) Novemberi 2005 PREFACE The right to govern is premised upon the duty to protect the governed: governments are elected to provide for the security of their citizens, that is, to promote and protect the physical and livelihood security of their citizens. In return for such security the citizens agree to surrender the powers to govern themselves by electing representatives to govern them. This is the moral contract between those who govern and those who are governed. For any government to knowingly and deliberately undermine the security of its citizens is a breach of this contract and the principle of democracy. Indeed, it removes the very foundation upon which the legitimacy of government is based. Just as there is an injunction upon health workers not to harm their patients - ‘primum non nocere”, “first do no harm” - so there must be an injunction upon governments that they ensure that any action that they take or policy that they implement will not be harmful. This is the very reason why there was formed in 2001 the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty of the United Nations promulgating the “Responsibility to Protect”: States have an obligation to protect their citizens, and the international community has an obligation to intervene when it is evident that a state cannot or will not protect its people.

Like six others before it, this Symposium brought together research stakeholders from Government, industry and academia. The Research Council of Zimbabwe (RCZ) continues to organise these symposia in order to popularise research and development especially in, but not limited to, S&T and to provide a platform for the dissemination and documentation of that research. The symposia are also regular reminders to renew political commitment to invest more and better in research at all levels. It is hoped that all the stakeholders now understand that investment in research is more or less the last ‘bullet’ towards the country’s socio-economic development and lasting independence particularly so as we have to rely increasingly on a knowledge-based economy.

    1 Empire, Gospel, and Culture Colonialism has led to racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance, and . Africans and people of African descent, and people of Asian descent and indigenous peoples were victims of colonialism and continue to be victims of its consequences. - Durban Declaration of the World Conference against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance (2001), no. 14, 7. To understand a nation, one must look at its history, culture, and religion, as well as the forces that shaped and transformed it. The following brief description of the history and identity of the Shona people of Zimbabwe and their traditional culture is intended to assist readers in understanding the foundations and developments of the Shona people and how they were transformed and shaped first by colonialism and second by missionary encounters. Like the Greeks and Romans, the Shona people have a mythos or a story that is foundational to their community. Shona Ethnography as Nehanda Mythology From time immemorial, migration and immigration have shaped and defined human evolution. The Shona people’s history is one of migration, conflict, colonial encounters, and reconciliation. Like that of the Greeks and Romans, the Shona story is told and retold because it has significance for one generation after another. Every nation has founders who, in the course of history, have functioned as ancestors, religious priests, or political pillars. The foundations of the Shona can easily be traced to an area south of Zimbabwe called Masvingo, to an ancient city known as “Great Zimbabwe.”1 There is no doubt that Great Zimbabwe is the nerve center of Shona religion, politics, economics, and social 7 8 | Abraham Our Father life.
