RELIGIOUS CHANGE IN THE TRANS-FRONTIER NYUNGWE-SPEAKING REGION OF THE MIDDLE ZAMBEZI, c.1890-c.1970 By Antonio Santos MARIZANE Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) University of London 29 May 2016 ABSTRACT With a few exceptions, earlier studies of religious change in Southern Africa have generally focused on Christianity in select areas, ethnic groups and polities within one state, confined by the colonial boundary. This approach made light of the existence of expansive African traditional religious networks across ethnicities and boundaries. Traditional religion was often relegated to the periphery, with predictions of its imminent demise under the impact of colonial rule, global forces and proselytising world religions. The constantly mutating perceptions of group belonging across established borders were often overlooked. By focusing on the trans-frontier Mid-Zambezi region from c.1890 to c.1970, and reviewing oral histories, documents, primary and secondary literature, as well as carrying out oral interviews, the present study uncovers the survival, continuity and disjuncture in traditional religion in a changing religious landscape across borders. The Mid- Zambezi region was populated by a mixture of Shona groups and pockets of a multi ethnic Nyungwe-speaking group. British and Portuguese imperialists divided the area into what became the colonies of Southern Rhodesia and Portuguese East Africa. Thus a region which was once the centre of the indigenous Mwene Mutapa State and a key site of earlier Portuguese mercantile and Catholic missionary activity was now rendered marginal by colonial boundary making. State and missionary penetration was slow, and the region became an important source of migrant labour for Southern Rhodesia. Yet this marginality was a key factor in explaining the continued dominance of the royal ancestral mphondolo or mhondoro traditional religious systems which began to co-exist with the growing but often instrumental adherence to the Christian churches. The change in the religious landscape consisted of adaptations to wider socio-economic changes generated by Christian missionary activities, formal education, wage migrant labour and monetisation. In this flux of socio-economic changes, the religious landscape of the Mid Zambezi was reconfigured. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Abstract: . iii Table of Contents: . iv Dedication: . v Acknowledgements: . vi Abbreviations: . viii Maps: . x Introduction: Religious change in the trans-frontier middle Zambezi valley, c. 1890-c. 1970. 1 Chapter 1: The roots of nineteenth century mid Zambezi political and religious authority . 36 Chapter 2: Post conflict missions, education and socio-religious change in the mid Zambezi, 1898-1939. 86 Chapter 3: The consolidation of the border and the politics of identity in early twentieth century mid Zambezi . 139 Chapter 4: New missions, labour migration, money and identity 1945-1960s . 186 Chapter 5: Continuity and change: The persistence of mizimu, mhondoro and aspects of ancestral religion in the 1960s . 242 Conclusion: . 286 Sources and Bibliography: . 295 iv DEDICATION This thesis is dedicated to My paternal and maternal Grandparents, and to my Parents v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Without the support of the following people, this thesis would not have seen the light of day. First on the list is John-Mark Considine who not only generously provided most of the financial support for this study, but went on to take a detour from his other commitments to join me in the fieldwork in Mozambique and to offer some useful insights into writing even though history is not his speciality. I also thank Elisabeth and Charles Bellord, Edmond Bellord, Lupana and Peter Hodgson, Anthony Salter, MJE Foster and John Wilkins - the former editor of the Tablet and his Trust, for covering part of the costs over the years. I thank Dr John Parker for the initial guidance and supervision through the first part of the project. My other tutors, Shabnum Tejani, Richard Reid and Wayne Dooling were always available whenever I sought their advice. My friends Dr Anselmo Samussone, Dr Stephen Itugbu, Zayra M. Badillo and Crescencia Masawe deserve special mention. They offered useful insights into research culture. My fellow research colleagues, Jared McDonald Ross, Mike Talbot, Fion so Wai Ling, Aparajita Mukhopay, Anushay Malik, Fabian Stremmell, Shazia Ahmed and Sotirious Dimitriades provided a social environment that eased the pressures and solitude of research and writing. Fr Anthony Bex, the archivist at the Jesuit Archives in Harare and the staff of the National Archives of Zimbabwe proved to be world class in their professionalism. Pedro Marizane Pota of the Universidade de Eduardo Mondlane in Maputo was exceptional in his efficiency and readiness to help. My interviewees, as listed in my bibliography, have made this work what it is. Finally I wish to acknowledge the support of my mother Paula da Gloria Portasio and family members who I cannot list here as that would require several pages more. But I will mention Margret, Santa, Tadziwa and Melesa who gave much needed support vi especially during my fieldwork in the Murewa district of Mashonaland East and in Mashonaland Central Provinces in Zimbabwe. My acknowledgements would be incomplete without the mention of my colleagues Canon Pat Browne who housed me in London, Canon Christopher Tuckwell and Fr Alexander Master who housed me in the final stages of my dissertation writing. vii ABBREVIATIONS AACJC African Apostolic Church of Johane Marange ACC African Chiremba Council AIC African Initiated Church ARPAC Arquívo do Património Cultural BMS Berlin Missionary Society BSAC British South Africa Company CACA Central African Chiremba Association CMS Church Missionary Society CNC Chief Native Commissioner DA District Administrator DC District Commissioner DRC Dutch Reformed Church GPA Global Political Agreement (power sharing between ZANU-PF and MDC) JAH Jesuit Archives Harare (Garnet House) LMS London Missionary Society MDC Movement for Democratic Change NADA Native Affairs Department Annual NAZ National Archives of Zimbabwe NC Native Commissioner NMMZ National Monuments and Museums of Zimbabwe OFM Order of Friars Minor (Franciscans) OP Order of Preachers (Dominicans) PF-ZAPU Patriotic Front-Zimbabwe African People’s Union viii PNC Provincial Native Commissioner SDA Seventh Day Adventist SJ Society of Jesus (Jesuits) TANHA True African N’angas Herbalists Association UEM Universidade de Eduardo Mondlane ZANU-PF Zimbabwe African National Union - Patriotic Front ZANLA Zimbabwe African National Liberation Front ZCBC Zimbabwe Catholic Bishops’ Conference ix MAPS Figure 1: Map of the Mid Zambezi as defined in this study in relation to the region showing the key towns of Salisbury (now Harare) and Tete (also known as Nyungwe).1 1 Maps in Figures 1, 2 and 4 were created by the author based on outlines adopted from: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=outline+maps+of+africa+zimbabwe+- +mozambique&tbm=isch&imgil=8UztfaeZ2- x Figure 2: Map showing the places where the author carried out oral interviews in Zimbabwe and Mozambique.

  • Canada Sanctions Zimbabwe
    Canadian Sanctions and Canadian charities operating in Zimbabwe: Be Very Careful! By Mark Blumberg (January 7, 2009) Canadian charities operating in Zimbabwe need to be extremely careful. It is not the place for a new and inexperienced charity to begin foreign operations. In fact, only Canadian charities with substantial experience in difficult international operations should even consider operating in Zimbabwe. It is one of the most difficult countries to carry out charitable operations by virtue of the very difficult political, security, human rights and economic situation and the resultant Canadian and international sanctions. This article will set out some information on the Zimbabwe Sanctions including the full text of the Act and Regulations governing the sanctions. It is not a bad idea when dealing with difficult legal issues to consult knowledgeable legal advisors. Summary On September 4, 2008, the Special Economic Measures (Zimbabwe) Regulations (SOR/2008-248) (the “Regulations”) came into force pursuant to subsections 4(1) to (3) of the Special Economic Measures Act. The Canadian sanctions against Zimbabwe are targeted sanctions dealing with weapons, technical support for weapons, assets of designated persons, and Zimbabwean aircraft landing in Canada. There is no humanitarian exception to these targeted sanctions. There are tremendous practical difficulties working in Zimbabwe and if a Canadian charity decides to continue operating in Zimbabwe it is important that the Canadian charity and its intermediaries (eg. Agents, contractor, partners) avoid providing any benefits, “directly or indirectly”, to a “designated person”. Canadian charities need to undertake rigorous due diligence and risk management to ensure that a “designated person” does not financially benefit from the program.

  • Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics &A
    Online Appendix for Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue (2014) Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics & Change Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue The following document lists the languages of the world and their as- signment to the macro-areas described in the main body of the paper as well as the WALS macro-area for languages featured in the WALS 2005 edi- tion. 7160 languages are included, which represent all languages for which we had coordinates available1. Every language is given with its ISO-639-3 code (if it has one) for proper identification. The mapping between WALS languages and ISO-codes was done by using the mapping downloadable from the 2011 online WALS edition2 (because a number of errors in the mapping were corrected for the 2011 edition). 38 WALS languages are not given an ISO-code in the 2011 mapping, 36 of these have been assigned their appropri- ate iso-code based on the sources the WALS lists for the respective language. This was not possible for Tasmanian (WALS-code: tsm) because the WALS mixes data from very different Tasmanian languages and for Kualan (WALS- code: kua) because no source is given. 17 WALS-languages were assigned ISO-codes which have subsequently been retired { these have been assigned their appropriate updated ISO-code. In many cases, a WALS-language is mapped to several ISO-codes. As this has no bearing for the assignment to macro-areas, multiple mappings have been retained. 1There are another couple of hundred languages which are attested but for which our database currently lacks coordinates.

  • A M D G Beaumont Union Review Summer 2018
    A M D G BEAUMONT UNION REVIEW SUMMER 2018 Those of you who attended the lunch at St John‘s on Remembrance Sunday last year may recall, that in my words of thanks to the Headmaster and Staff, I said that we talk of this nebulous concept of the ―Spirit of Beaumont‖. I continued: ―Yet we have the living embodiment of that Spirit right here‖. Up until 1967 St John‘s was always considered part of Beaumont and its Old boys whether they continued to the College or not eligible for The Union. That year they were cast adrift and I think the feeling of the Committee was that it was now the Stonyhurst prep in the south of England and it would have a new allegiance. 50 years on and this is no longer the case. They wear our colours, harbour our traditions, sing the Carmen. They play cricket on our grounds and honour the dead at the War Memorial. It is long overdue to rectify the situation and bring the BU and the SJBOBA into closer alignment (sounds Brexit). In 1905, younger members of the Union founded the Beaumont Casuals whose activities were more in keeping with their generation. It lasted four years when the Club came to an end, yet it was written that ―the idea of younger members associating together for sports and social gatherings is a good one, and it is hoped that one day the Casuals will come to life again‖. I think that time has come. ANNOUNCEMENTS MUSEUM In February I met with Giles Delaney at St John’s and I know you will all be pleased to hear that our memorabilia will, where possible, soon go on display.
