  • Zunde Ramambo As a Traditional Coping Mechanism for the Care of Orphans and Vulnerable Children: Evidence from Gutu District, Zimbabwe
    ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ AJSW, Volume 7 Number 2 2017 Ringson, J. Publisher African Journal of Social Work Afri. j. soc. work © National Association of Social Workers-Zimbabwe/Author(s) ISSN Print 1563-3934 ISSN Online 2409-5605 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non-commercial 4.0 International License ZUNDE RAMAMBO AS A TRADITIONAL COPING MECHANISM FOR THE CARE OF ORPHANS AND VULNERABLE CHILDREN: EVIDENCE FROM GUTU DISTRICT, ZIMBABWE RINGSON, John ABSTRACT This study sought to examine the feasibility of rejuvenating and strategically repositioning the Zunde raMambo (King’s granary) as a traditional orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) coping mechanism in Zimbabwe with a special reference to Gutu District. The study was motivated by the intellectual and theoretical paucity of a harmoniously synchronised and integrated approach of OVC coping strategies. Particularly, addressing the centralization of the Zunde raMambo community oriented OVC coping strategy caused by colonialism in Gutu District was the main thrust of this study. The basic human needs and Ubuntu philosophy were used as the underlying theories of this study. Focus group discussions (FGDs) and in-depth interviews were used to collect data from the OVCs, care-givers and key informants. The study established that the Zunde raMambo OVC mechanism which was formerly and traditionally owned by the communities is now centrally owned and controlled by the government. The traditional leaders who were formerly custodians of this cultural intellectual heritage have been absorbed into the mainstream of modern government and politics in contravention to their core traditional ethics. The implementation of the Zunde Ramambo in the local rural communities is cosmetically packaged in modern contemporary strategies such as the policy and legislative frameworks.

I also want to acknowledge my supervisor, Rune Jansen Hagen, who has given me guidance and advice, and who has been of great help and support during the year. I am grateful for the amount of time set aside to consult with me and guide me through this process. Lene Kristin Vastveit 29.11.2013 ii Abstract This thesis examines two cases of Export Processing Zone (EPZ) programmes in sub- Saharan Africa (SSA), specifically in Kenya and Lesotho. Using data from the respective countries’ EPZ programme authorities, central banks, relevant studies, and country reports, I show that although the programmes have facilitated employment generation and foreign exchange earnings from textile and apparel exports, such exports rely highly on preferential trade agreements such as the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA). The reliance on preferential market access, and the uncertainty regarding the continuation of such preferences are important sources of vulnerability. This causes fluctuations in investments and also helps explain the low level of backward linkages. This is especially evident in Lesotho. Moreover, such production within the zones is mainly of low productivity and low added value. The vast number of zone programmes that have materialised in the last decades has contributed to reducing the possible net benefit of EPZs, and the increase in competition has made it difficult to attract investors.

While most of the literature on this period centers on the process of state-building and the reform of legal institutions, my discussion will focus on the im- portant changes produced in the form of law according to Luhmann’s theory of functional dif- ferentiation. The main argument is that systems theory can provide a re-evaluation of the history of law in the 19th and 20th centuries if one focuses on the idea of the autonomy of law. I argue that this way of reading the functioning of law is analogous to the legal historical re-evaluation of early-modern Iberianlegalregimesthroughtheideaofjurisdic- tional autonomy. Taken together both ways of understanding autonomy in legal observation di- rect our attention to shifts in law that go beyond the question of empire and nation-state building.
