National Identity and Post-Colonial Development: Dictatorial Zimbabwe and Democratic Republic of South Africa Master's Thesis
National Identity and Post-Colonial Development: Dictatorial Zimbabwe and Democratic Republic of South Africa Master’s Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Department of Global Studies Chandler Rosenberger, Advisor Jasmine Waddell, Advisor Richard Parmentier, Chairman In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Master’s Degree By Andrea Cohen August, 2011 Copyright by Andrea Cohen © 2011 Dedication I would like to dedicate this piece of work to my parents, Fran and Les Cohen. Their hard work and endless support has allowed me to take up any opportunity that comes my way, including my desire to earn a Master’s degree. My Dad has shown me through example the importance of a strong work ethic. His quotes comparing hard work to sports always hang above my desk. Both my parent’s high regard for the needs of others has in part inspired me with a passion to better the lives of those who live in poverty, fear and oppression. I am eternally grateful for their enduring love, guidance, support. Acknowledgements I would like to thank my graduate advisers for their role in my education and for their guidance and support throughout the process. Professors Jasmine Waddell and Chandler Rosenberger’s intellect always inspired me to keep learning, think harder, and dig deeper. I cannot possibly thank Professor Waddell enough for her enduring support throughout the writing process. Each conversation with her left me feeling renewed, validated, and ready to tackle the challenge ahead. Professor Rosenberger always pushed me to achieve the perfection he knew I was capable of, and for that I am thankful to him. -

ISBN 978-3-00-059482-3 First Edition © 2018 1 Dismantling The System Of Mugabeism Dedication. To my fellow Zimbabweans, we defeated Mugabe the person but Mugabeism is still intact. We must dismantle this system and bring total democratization of our country Zimbabwe. My children Lilly, Tanaka and Nkosilathi,Jr you don’t deserve to grow up in such a collapsed country which is now a shadow of itself. This is the little contribution I can make towards challenging a regime which is putting your future at stake. ‘This is the history of a failure’ (Che Guevara, The African Dream) 2 Dismantling The System Of Mugabeism Foreword. I feel refreshed and motivated to write this book in this new-old political dispensation. New in the sense that, this is the first time ever since I was born to see this country having another President who is not Robert Gabriel Mugabe and old in the sense that those who are now in power are the same people who have been in charge of this country for the past four decades working alongside Mugabe. Yes Mugabe has gone but the system he created is still intact. Are the Mnangagwas of this world going to reform and become ambassadors of peace, tolerance, democracy and respect of the rule of law? Or they will simply pick up the sjamboks from where Mugabe left them and perpetuate his legacy of brutality? Is corruption going to end considering that a few former Ministers who were arrested by Mnangagwa’s administration were being used as scapegoats, most of the criminals and kleptocrats who committed serious crimes against humanity and corruption are still serving in the post-Mugabe ZANU PF government? The same old people who bled Zimbabwe dry serving in the kleptocratic regime of Robert Mugabe are the same people who are serving under Mnangagwa. -

Zambia's Independence
Zambia’s Independence In thy cozy loamy soils deeply flowed mine young blood/ In thy sun- scotched patches birth-ed thee a patriotic lad/ How this thought of hilarity mine psyche partly flood/ Thy progeny in hope mine entrails thou maketh glad/ Thy black visage daily mine heart gladly beholdeth/ For thine good, whence mine desire dryly flourisheth/ Oh Zambia, kind Mother to me thou may be more/ Oh land, thy toil, the oil that boileth our common soul! BRIEF INTRODUCTION In this chapter, the author relives the memories of Zambia’s 19th independence celebrations as a child at Mibenge Primary School in Mibenge’s village in Samfya- Mansa district of Luapula Province. It introduces the major theme of independence, the founding fathers of the independent Republic of Zambia, and the promise of a prosperous, democratic and free nation. MAJOR THEME: Independence ≈ History ≈ Politics ≈ §1.1 Mibenge was born on the ninth Christmas after Zambia became independent. My mother told me that she almost named me Mary had I been a girl, but for the second born who was already called by that name in the family. I was born Charles Chushi Zachariah Mwewa to Zachariah I 1 Kalubeya Mwewa and Justina Kunda of Mibenge village in Samfya-Mansa district in the Luapula Province of Zambia.2 I am positioned seventh in an eight-member family of only two girls: John Mwewa, Mary Kalaba, Gilbert Ng’andwe, George (also called Charles Chibwe), Joseph Ng’andwe, Jeremiah Chushi, and Anne Mwewa. When I was born, it was perhaps not a family secret that I was unexpected. -
Northern Rhodesia: the Post-War Background, 1945–1953
2 Northern Rhodesia: The Post-War Background, 1945–1953 Andrew D. Roberts It is many years since I said anything new about the colonial history of Zambia, so I was flattered to be invited to contribute to this collection as well as to the conference on which it is based. There seemed to be two ways in which I could try to be useful. I shall sketch the background to Northern Rhodesia in the 1950s, by way of providing a context for the research papers which follow. And along the way I shall take note of themes and topics which still call for study, despite the recent revival of interest in late-colonial Zambia. Let us begin with the copper industry, which for a century has been so impor- tant a factor in Zambia’s history.1 We must recognise that it only began to prosper in 1949. During the last two years of World War II the mines were badly run down: existing workings were yielding diminishing grades of ore, and large-scale development was needed to gain access to ores of a quality which would – as in 1 A.D. Roberts, ‘Notes towards a financial history of copper mining in Northern Rhodesia’, Canadian Journal of African Studies, 16 (1982); L.J. Butler, Copper empire: Mining and the colonial state in Northern Rhodesia, c.1930–1964 (Basingstoke, 2007). 16 andrew d. roberts the later 1930s – compensate for the high costs of transport. Hence, from 1945 to 1949 the Rhodesian Selection Trust, which dominated two of the four operating mines, paid no dividends: it devoted net profits to mining development. -

Enclosed Is the Current Issue of ACOA Action News. It Is a Rather Special Issue, Coming out Soon After Zimbabwe's Independence
May 1980 Dear Friend of ACOA: Enclosed is the current issue of ACOA Action News. It is a rather special issue, coming out soon after Zimbabwe's independence. As the lead article suggests, Zimbabwe's victory is a reason for rejoicing and an encouragement for ACOA's continuing work in support of liberation in southern Africa. The article on student anti-apartheid activities in the u.s. is relevant to another heartening development in the movement to end white minority domination in southern Africa. Increasingly, state and local governments are introducing bills to prohibit public funds from being invested in cor porations and banks doing business with racist South Africa. ACOA has been receiving detailed reports of successful bills in Nebraska and Massachusetts and pending legislation in Michigan, Illinois and elsewhere, and we will be putting much time and energy into furthering these efforts. The April 19th issue of the Johannesburg st·ar released the findings of a study by the South Africa Foundation on the divestment issue in the u.s. They called the movement here "formidable". Thirty-five out of the 50 states have anti apartheid groups, they reported, and universities alone have divested more than $49 million in 1978 and '79. For us at ACOA, this. news in their headlines is encouraging. ~ need your generous support to continue ou:r ~ork. Recently, you received our annual report for 1979 and our budget for 1980. To go ahead with our programs as planned, we must raise about $95,000 this year. With the summer months ahead of us--a traditional slow period for contributions--! urge you to send whatever you can, now.
