Abstract Zambia is one of the countries in Africa with a high frequency of land conflicts. The conflicts over land lead to tenure insecurity. In response to the increasing number of land conflicts, the Zambian Government has undertaken measures to address land conflicts, but the measures are mainly curative in nature. But a conflict sensitive land governance framework should address both curative and preventive measures. In order to obtain insights about the actual realities on the ground, based on a case study approach, the research examined the role of existing state land governance framework in improving tenure security in Lusaka district, and established how land conflicts affect land tenure security. The research findings show that the present state land governance framework is malfunctional which cause land conflicts and therefore, tenure insecurity. The research further reveals that state land governance is characterised by defective legal and institutional framework and inappropriate technical (i.e.

  • Iv ABSTRACT Research Conducted in Zambia Have Revealed That Literacy
    ABSTRACT Research conducted in Zambia have revealed that literacy levels of Zambian learners are below the expected grade level. The Zambian Government has made huge financial investments in introducing the Primary Reading Programme (PRP), which emphasized the use of a familiar, indigenous language to teach basic literacy skills from grades one to three. However, research conducted nationwide after the introduction of PRP indicated that the proportion of learners achieving even the minimal expected standard of literacy by Grades 5 and 6 remains extremely low. Teachers play an important role in mediating the learning opportunities. The current study sought to investigate beliefs and practices of first grade teachers and the degree to which they influence learners’ mastery of initial literacy skills in Lusaka district. The study further sought to determine if and how a literacy tool, GraphoGame, could interact with teacher variables to improve learners’ literacy skills. Data for the current research was collected as part of a larger research project called the Reading Support for Zambian Children (RESUZ). At the core of the study was an intervention with GraphoGame. Intervention groups were formed for learners, teachers and a combination of both. The current study used both qualitative and quantitative methods of data collection. The sample consisted of first grade teachers from Zambian Government schools (N = 63) age range 25-54 and their learners (N = 288) age range 6-9 years. Data on teachers’ self-reported teaching practices and attitudes about intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, learner versus teacher centred approaches, personal theories of teaching and views about the curriculum was collected using a semi-structured questionnaire.

  • Post-Populism in Zambia: Michael Sata's Rise
    This is the accepted version of the article which is published by Sage in International Political Science Review, Volume: 38 issue: 4, page(s): 456-472 available at: https://doi.org/10.1177/0192512117720809 Accepted version downloaded from SOAS Research Online: http://eprints.soas.ac.uk/24592/ Post-populism in Zambia: Michael Sata’s rise, demise and legacy Alastair Fraser SOAS University of London, UK Abstract Models explaining populism as a policy response to the interests of the urban poor struggle to understand the instability of populist mobilisations. A focus on political theatre is more helpful. This article extends the debate on populist performance, showing how populists typically do not produce rehearsed performances to passive audiences. In drawing ‘the people’ on stage they are forced to improvise. As a result, populist performances are rarely sustained. The article describes the Zambian Patriotic Front’s (PF) theatrical insurrection in 2006 and its evolution over the next decade. The PF’s populist aspect had faded by 2008 and gradually disappeared in parallel with its leader Michael Sata’s ill-health and eventual death in 2014. The party was nonetheless electorally successful. The article accounts for this evolution and describes a ‘post-populist’ legacy featuring hyper- partisanship, violence and authoritarianism. Intolerance was justified in the populist moment as a reflection of anger at inequality; it now floats free of any programme. Keywords Elections, populism, political theatre, Laclau, Zambia, Sata, Patriotic Front Introduction This article both contributes to the thin theoretic literature on ‘post-populism’ and develops an illustrative case. It discusses the explosive arrival of the Patriotic Front (PF) on the Zambian electoral scene in 2006 and the party’s subsequent evolution.
