Robert Gabriel Mugabe, Empire and the Decolonisation of African Orifices Edited by Artwell Nhemachena and Tapiwa Victor Warikandwa Tracing recent bouts of globalised Mugabephobia to Robert Mugabe’s refusal to be neoimperially penetrated, this book juxtaposes economic liberalisation with the mounting liberalisation of African orifices. Reading land repossession and economic structural adjustment programmes together with what is called neoimperial structural adjustment of African orifices, the authors argue that there has been liberalisation of African orifices in a context where Africans are ironically prevented from repossessing their material resources. Juxtaposing recent bouts of Mugabephobia with discourses on homophobia, the book asks why empire prefers liberalising African orifices rather than attending to African demands for restitution, restoration and reparations. Noting that empire opposes African sovereignty, autonomy, and centralisation of power while paradoxically promoting transnational corporations’ centralisation of power over African economies, the book challenges contemporary discourses about shared sovereignty, distributed governance, heterarchy, heteronomy and onticology. Provocatively questioning queer sexuality and liberalised orifices which serve to divert African attention from the more serious unfinished business of repossessing material resources, the book insightfully compares Robert Gabriel Mugabe, Thomas Sankara and Julius Kambarage Nyerere who emphasised the imperatives of African autonomy, ownership, control and sovereignty over natural resources. With insights for scholars in sociology, development studies, law, politics, African studies, anthropology, transformation, decolonisation and decoloniality, the book argues that liberal democracy is a façade in a world that is actually ruled through criminocracy.

TMay 28, 1992 To: Southern Africa Support and Human Rights Groups From: Adotei Akwei, Research Department Re: Drought And Famine in Southern Africa: There is a disaster in the making which will make the famine and drought cases of the 1980s seem mild in comparison. Southern Africa is reeling from the worst drought of the century which may ultimately claim the lives of millions of people. Among the most the most vulnerable as usual are the rural poor, the elderly ,and children. The severe drought caused by the warming of Pacific Ocean currents that affect air pressure and wind patterns known as "El Nino" is wreaking devastation on people already burdened-b inequitable land distribution and wars of destabilization. These wars have cost the region over one and a half million lives and sixty two million dollars in gross domestic product between 1980 and 1988 alone. In addition many of the governments are either in the process of dismantling or reorganizing to accommodate democratic reform and western style economic policies, leaving the majority of their populations without much of a safety net in terms of government resources. Beyond the immediate need for food there is concern about long term damage on the region.The southern African landscape of scorched fields of failed crops stretches from Angola to South Africa and is in danger of becoming a permanent dustbowl. The 10 nation Southern African Development Coordination Conference (SADCC) has launched a campaign to encourage international support to combat the famine which will affect close to 30 million people in Angola, Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.

  • Examining Zimbabwe's Protracted Social Conflict Through The
    Conflict in Perpetuity? Examining Zimbabwe’s protracted social conflict through the lens of land reform Bryan M. Sims Dissertation presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Pierre du Toit March 2015 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za DECLARATION By submitting this dissertation electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. 22 February 2015 Copyright © 2015 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved ! ii! Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za ABSTRACT This dissertation analyses the relationship between civil society and political leadership within the context of Zimbabwe’s protracted social conflict, particularly through the lens of land policy. Through the use of strategic informants, it yields important insights into the origins, form and impact of political leadership and civil society in a way that will expose the dynamics of elite and grassroots mobilisation and the political context in which land policy is either made or obstructed. Specifically, this dissertation examines two research questions. First, if political leadership is not representative of the citizenry, is land policy more likely to engender overt conflict? Second, if civil society has an autonomous role in the public sphere, is land policy more likely to benefit citizens? This dissertation also confronts an emerging empirical problem: the absence of descriptive data in regards to how civil society and political leadership have engaged in reforming land policy in Zimbabwe during the period of transition from 2008 to 2013.

  • Guerrilla Veterans in Post-War Zimbabwe Symbolic and Violent Politics, 1980–1987
    This page intentionally left blank Guerrilla Veterans in Post-War Zimbabwe Symbolic and Violent Politics, 1980–1987 Zimbabwe’s guerrilla veterans have burst into the international media as the storm troopers in Mugabe’s new war of economic liberation. In this book,Norma Kriger gives the unfolding contemporary drama a historical background,and shows continuities between the present and past. Between 1980 and 1987,guerrilla veterans and the ruling party colluded with and manipulated each other to build power and privilege in the army,police, bureaucracy,and among workers. Both relied chiefly on violence and ap- peals to their participation in the anti-colonial liberation war as they sought to vanquish their then political opponents. Today,violence and a liberation war discourse continue to be salient as Mugabe’s party and its guerrilla veterans struggle to maintain power through land invasions and purges of a new po- litical opposition. This study gives a critical review of guerrilla programs and the war-to-peace transitions literatures, thus changing the way we view post-conflict societies. norma kriger was on the political science faculty of the Johns Hopkins University for twelve years. Since then she has been an independent scholar. Her first book, Zimbabwe’s Guerrilla War: Peasant Voices (Cambridge University Press,1992),drew attention to the widespread use of guerrilla violence to mobilize peasants who were more interested in their own agendas than the nationalistic agenda of the guerrillas.

  • The Strategic Repositioning of Commercial Farmers Across the Independence Transition in Zimbabwe 1972-1985
    QEH Working Paper Series – QEHWPS140 Page 1 Working Paper Number 140 From ‘OPEN SEASON’ to ‘ROYAL GAME’: The Strategic Repositioning of Commercial Farmers across the Independence Transition in Zimbabwe 1972-1985 Angus Selby1 This paper explores the strategic repositioning of commercial farmers across the Independence transition, from a close proximity to the Rhodesian Front to an alliance with the Mugabe regime. It argues, contrary to most analyses, that commercial farmers were instrumental in leading white Rhodesia towards negotiations, compromise and settlement, and that this positioned them well to retain their privileged access to land and the decision making process after Independence. Whilst recognising that ZANU PF compromised significantly, it illustrates that incomplete reconciliation and ongoing distortions in access to resources kept the racial aspects of the new alliance unsteady. 1 Centre for International Development, Queen Elizabeth House, Oxford QEH Working Paper Series – QEHWPS140 Page 2 “I repeat, I do not believe in majority rule - not in a thousand years!” - Ian Smith, March 1976.2 “It is perhaps the end of the beginning” -Ian Smith, September 1976.3 “In Zimbabwe, none of the white exploiters will be allowed to keep a single acre of their land!” - Robert Mugabe, October 1976.4 “The wrongs of the past must now stand forgiven and forgotten” - Robert Mugabe, March 1980.5 TABLE OF CONTENTS 1 INTRODUCTION .............................................................................................................................................3
