Bakalanga 5. BaLozwi/Loyi 9. BaTwamambo 2. BaNambya 6. BaLemba 10. BaTembe 3. BaLobedu 7. Vhavenda 11. Babirwa 4. BaLembethu 8. BaTswapong 12. BaShangwe This also includes the majority of those people currently identified as Ndebele in Zimbabwe who use such surnames as Ndlovu, Khupe, Sibanda, Tshuma, Mpala, Nyoni, Nyathi, Ndebele, Ngwenya, Shoko, Zhowu, Shumba, Moyo, Nkomo, Nleya, Dumani, Mlalazi, and so forth. Also included are thousands of other Bakalanga in Botswana who are currently identified as Ngwato-Tswana. Detailed evidence for the foregoing shall be provided in Chapter Three of the book. ‘Bukalanga/Vhukalanga’ and ‘the Kalanga’ shall be used interchangeably following the general Anglicization of Bantu names. For those readers who read the book when it was first published, they will notice that there have been some changes in this edition. The changes are not substantial but have been additions of evidence to back up the claims that are made in the book 7 PREFACE This book has come about as a result of a desire to understand my own identity and origins as a Kalanga, as well as my deep concern for justice, freedom, self-determination and self-government for my own people and others in general in the context of having lived in two countries where everyone is bundled up together, willingly or unwillingly, into a Shona1, Ndebele or Tswana identity. This led to three years of research into the history of Bukalanga, culminating in the writing of this book. Here is the story of what was once the greatest nation and civilization Africa south of the Sahara. It has been stated concerning Bukalanga by Dr Gerald Mazarire that the common understanding of Kalanga identity in Zimbabwe is tainted by a general legacy of high school textbooks that has had a tremendous impact on our somewhat obviated knowledge of local ethnicities through a process known in history as ‘feedback’. He states that until fairly recently, we did not know as much about the Kalanga who have constantly been treated as a sub-ethnicity of the major groups in southwestern Zimbabwe such as the Ndebele, Tswana and Shona (Mazarire 2003, Online). Dr Mazarire’s view is echoed by Wim van Binsbergen who, in his contribution to R. Fardon and G. Furnis’ work, African Languages, Development and the State, observed that: *******2 Like the Nkoya language, this western Shona dialect cluster known as Kalanga and today extending from northwestern Zimbabwe all the 1 Throughout this book, unless indicated otherwise, the term Shona shall be used with reference to the Zezuru and Manyika, and excludes the broader section of the Karanga, of which explanation shall be given in Chapters Two and Three. That is important to keep in mind when reading the book. 2 These seven asterisks have been employed throughout the book where normally quotation marks or indents would have been used. This has been necessitated by the length of many of the verbatim quotes used in the book, also partly necessitated by the fact that much of the history of Bukalanga as presented in this book has not been told for a very long time and is unknown to many people. The use of long verbatim has been employed so as to present the information from the original sources voetstoots, that is, as is; and to serve as a guard against accusations that this is ‘manufactured history’ as one would often hear. 8 way into the North Central and North East districts of Botswana (where it mainly exists in the form of the Lilima dialect) boasts a considerable local presence. While much of the history of this language and of the ethnic group which identifies by it remains to be written, it is a well- established fact that Kalanga, already called by that name, was the state language of the Tjangamire state which in the late seventeenth century succeeded the Togwa state; the latter produced the archaeological complex known as the Khami culture, and was historically closely associated with the earlier extensive state system centring on the famous site of Great Zimbabwe (van Binsbergen 1994, Online. Italics mine). ******* I have emphasized the sentences in italics above to show just how little of Bukalanga history is known in this generation. What little history of the Kalanga we know is so distorted that one can hardly tell who the Kalanga people are. As a matter of fact, nothing is mentioned in Zimbabwean school history textbooks and the Constitutions of both Zimbabwe and Botswana about Bukalanga. It leaves one wondering, who and from where the Kalanga people came. How is it possible that so little is known of a people whose ancestors were the builders of three of the four man-made

  • The Stacking Behavior of Valence-Increasing Verbal Extensions and Their Arguments in Shona1
    The Stacking Behavior of Valence-Increasing Verbal Extensions and Their Arguments in Shona1 Mattie Wechsler Abstract Most Bantu Languages exhibit several verbal affixes that change the meaning or argument structure of the verbs to which they attach. Two of the most cross-Bantu common of these morphemes are the applicative and causative. which are both valence­ increasing. making many intransitive verbs transitive and transitive verbs ditransitive. In addition to having these affixes. most Bantu languages also exhibit the ability to stack more than one of them at once. creating more complex structures. Shona (a language of Zimbabwe). however. displays a typologically unusual restriction. allowing only two postverbal objects at the most. In addition to this descriptive generalization. this paper provides a detailed account of verbal extensions and their objects in Shona. ultimately showing that many Shona objects behave asymmetrically. Towards the latter half of this report. the focus shifts to an analysis of the argument limit and asymmetrical object phenomena involving case. In order to explain seemingly conflicting data. this paper hypothesizes the presence of three structural case-assigners in Shona. as well as proposing several criteria for prosperous case-assignment. 1 I'd like to thank my amazingly patient and insightful Shona consultant, Collence Nyazenga.

  • 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.

  • Malaria Outbreak Investigation in a Rural Area South of Zimbabwe: a Case–Control Study Paddington T
    Mundagowa and Chimberengwa Malar J (2020) 19:197 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12936-020-03270-0 Malaria Journal RESEARCH Open Access Malaria outbreak investigation in a rural area south of Zimbabwe: a case–control study Paddington T. Mundagowa1* and Pugie T. Chimberengwa2 Abstract Background: Ninety percent of the global annual malaria mortality cases emanate from the African region. About 80–90% of malaria transmissions in sub-Saharan Africa occur indoors during the night. In Zimbabwe, 79% of the population are at risk of contracting the disease. Although the country has made signifcant progress towards malaria elimination, isolated seasonal outbreaks persistently resurface. In 2017, Beitbridge District was experiencing a second malaria outbreak within 12 months prompting the need for investigating the outbreak. Methods: An unmatched 1:1 case–control study was conducted to establish the risk factors associated with con- tracting malaria in Ward 6 of Beitbridge District from week 36 to week 44 of 2017. The sample size constituted of 75 randomly selected cases and 75 purposively selected controls. Data were collected using an interviewer-administered questionnaire and Epi Info version 7.2.1.0 was used to conduct descriptive, bivariate and multivariate analyses of the factors associated with contracting malaria. Results: Fifty-two percent of the cases were females and the mean age of cases was 29 13 years. Cases were diag- nosed using rapid diagnostic tests. Sleeping in a house with open eaves (OR: 2.97; 95% CI± 1.44–6.16; p < 0.01), spend- ing the evenings outdoors (OR: 2.24; 95% CI 1.04–4.85; p 0.037) and sleeping in a poorly constructed house (OR: 4.33; 95% CI 1.97–9.51; p < 0.01) were signifcantly associated= with contracting malaria while closing eaves was protec- tive (OR: 0.45; 95% CI 0.20–1.02; p 0.055).

  • Conference Paper Series
    POLITICAL ECONOMY RESEARCH INSTITUTE University of Massachusetts Amherst Community Rights, Costs, and Benefits: The Question of Natural Resource Stewardship and Community Benefits in Zimbabwe’s CAMPFIRE Program James C. Murombedzi January 2003 CONFERENCE PAPER SERIES No. 16 Committees, Rights, Costs and Benefits: The Question of Natural Resource Stewardship and Community Benefits in Zimbabwe’s CAMPFIRE Program James C. Murombedzi The Ford Foundation Johannesburg, South Africa 1 In the CAMPFIRE formulation, the resource management problems obtaining in the communal areas of Zimbabwe are the result of the absence of both the institutional capacity as well as the incentives to manage the resources in question. The CAMPFIRE solution, therefore, was to introduce new systems of group ownership and territorial rights to natural resources to communities, and provide the appropriate institutions for legitimate resource management for the benefit of these communities (Martin 1986). The implementation of this solution was attained through the enactment of an amendment to the Parks and Wild Life Act of 1975, which enables the government to delegate appropriate authority over the wildlife to the ‘communal representatives’. The CAMPFIRE program in fact constitutes a transfer of the notion of ownership, successfully implemented with regard to individual landowners, to communal landowners (Farquharson 1993). This chapter tests the extent to which CAMPFIRE has in fact been able to devolve ownership over wildlife to communities in the communal areas, and thereby promoted stewardship of wildlife through the production of benefits for the participating communities. To achieve this, I will proceed by first evaluating the extent to which CAMPFIRE has succeeded in eliciting stewardship of the wildlife resource by participating communities through the devolution of clear and unambiguous rights to wildlife to these communities.

  • Zimbabwe Annual Budget Review for 2016 and the 2017 Outlook
    ZIMBABWE ANNUAL BUDGET REVIEW FOR 2016 AND THE 2017 OUTLOOK Presented to the Parliament of Zimbabwe on Thursday, July 20, 2017 by The Hon. P. A. Chinamasa, M.P. Minister of Finance and Economic Development 1 1 2 FOREWORD In presenting the 2017 National Budget on 8 December 2016, I indicated the need to strengthen the outline of the Budget Statement presentation as an instrument of Budget accountability and fiscal transparency, in the process improving policy engagement and accessibility for a wider range of public and targeted audiences. Accordingly, I presented a streamlined Budget Statement, and advised that extensive economic review material, which historically was presented as part of the National Budget Statement, would now be provided through a new publication called the Annual Budget Review. I am, therefore, pleased to unveil and Table the first Annual Budget Review, beginning with Fiscal Year 2016. This reports on revenue and expenditure outturn for the full fiscal year, 2016. Furthermore, the Annual Budget Review also allows opportunity for reporting on other recent macro-economic developments and the outlook for 2017. As I indicated to Parliament in December 2016, the issuance of the Annual Budget Review, therefore, makes the issuance of the Mid-Term Fiscal Policy Review no longer necessary, save for exceptional circumstances requiring Supplementary Budget proposals. 3 Treasury will, however, continue to provide Quarterly Treasury Bulletins, capturing quarterly macro-economic and fiscal developments, in addition to the Consolidated Monthly Financial Statements published monthly in line with the Public Finance Management Act. This should avail the public with necessary information on relevant economic developments, that way enhancing and supporting their decision making processes, activities and engagement with Government on overall economic policy issues.

  • Apartheid, Liberalism and Romance a Critical Investigation of the Writing of Joy Packer
    UNIVERSITY OF UMEÅ DISSERTATION ISSN 0345-0155 ISBN 91-7191-140-5 From the Department of English, Faculty of Humanities, Umeå University, Sweden Apartheid, Liberalism and Romance A Critical Investigation of the Writing of Joy Packer AN ACADEMIC DISSERTATION which will, on the proper authority of the Chancellor’s Office of Umeå University for passing the doctoral examination, be publicly defended in hörsal F, Humanisthuset, on Friday, 23rd February 1996, at 3.15 p.m. John A Stotesbury Umeå University Umeå 1996 Abstract This is the first full-length study of the writing of the South African Joy Packer (1905-1977), whose 17 works of autobiography and romantic fiction were primarily popular. Packer’s writing, which appeared mainly between 1945 and 1977, blends popular narrative with contemporary social and political discourses. Her first main works, three volumes of memoirs published between 1945 and 1953, cover her experience of a wide area of the world before, during and after the Second World War: South Africa, Britain, the Mediterranean and the Balkans, and China. In the early 1950s she also toured extensive areas of colonial "Darkest Africa." When Packer retired to the Cape with her British husband, Admiral Sir Herbert Packer, after an absence of more than 25 years, she adopted fiction as an alternative literary mode. Her subsequent production, ten popular romantic novels and a further three volumes of memoirs, is notable for the density of its sociopolitical commentary on contemporary South Africa. This thesis takes as its starting-point the dilemma, formulated by the South African critic Dorothy Driver, of the white woman writing within a colonial environment which compels her to adopt contradictory, ambivalent and oblique discursive stances and strategies.
