AUTOCHTHONS, STRANGERS, MODERNISING EDUCATIONISTS, AND PROGRESSIVE FARMERS: BASOTHO STRUGGLES FOR BELONGING IN ZIMBABWE 1930s-2008 BY JOSEPH MUJERE THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF PHD SCHOOL OF HISTORY, CLASSICS AND ARCHAEOLOGY UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH JULY 2012 ABSTRACT This thesis uses belonging as an analytical tool to analyse the history of the Basotho community in the Dewure Purchase Areas in Zimbabwe. The thesis analyses how Basotho’s migration history and their experiences with colonial displacements shaped and continue to shape their construction of a sense of belonging. It also examines how Basotho’s purchase of farms in the Dewure Purchase Areas in the 1930s and their establishment of a communally owned farm have played a key role in their struggles for belonging. It also explores the centrality of land, graves, funerals, and religion in the belonging matrix.

  • Household Energy Demand: Woodfuel Consumption and Peri-Urban Deforestation in the City of Masvingo (Zimbabwe)
    Journal of Sustainable Development in Africa (Volume 13, No.5, 2011) ISSN: 1520-5509 Clarion University of Pennsylvania, Clarion, Pennsylvania HOUSEHOLD ENERGY DEMAND: WOODFUEL CONSUMPTION AND PERI-URBAN DEFORESTATION IN THE CITY OF MASVINGO (ZIMBABWE) Jemitias Mapira and Ackim Munthali Great Zimbabwe University ABSTRACT Household energy demand in Zimbabwean urban centres has led to massive deforestation on the outskirts of these settlements as residents search for wood fuel, in the wake of prevailing power cuts and load shedding strategies. This study examines the city of Masvingo, which is currently facing this problem. It is based on surveys that were conducted between September 2007 and October 2008. Four methods were used in the collection of data namely: literature review, questionnaire interviews, field surveys and measurements. The study shows that rapid rates of deforestation are currently underway on the outskirts of Rujeko C Extension, one of the low-income residential areas. They range from 11% to 85% with an average of 38% in the surveyed areas. This has led to desertification and land degradation in general, which are threats to bio-diversity and the natural environment. Several solutions are proposed for the achievement of sustainable development at city level. They include: the development of thermal, hydro-electricity, solar and wind energy sources as well as the development of energy-saving meters. Keywords: Woodfuel Consumption, Deforestation, Masvingo City INTRODUCTION In recent years, Zimbabwean urban settlements have been facing energy-supply problems for industrial, commercial, transport and domestic needs (Kunaka, 1991). This scenario has led to an increasing demand for such energy sources as fuels and electricity.

  • New Farmers, Old Claims Around Lake Mutirikwi, Southern Zimbabwe1
    African Studies Quarterly | Volume 10, Issue 4 | Spring 2009 'We Want to Belong to Our Roots and We Want to be Modern People': New Farmers, Old Claims Around Lake Mutirikwi, Southern Zimbabwe1 JOOST FONTEIN Abstract: Based on fieldwork carried out between June 2005 and July 2006, this paper questions common assertions which suggest that recent ‘fast track’ land reform in Zimbabwe did not fit with local understandings of land tenure. While fast track land reform was not officially planned as a form of ‘land restitution’, in Masvingo District members of different local clans who occupied areas of state land, earlier resettlement schemes or were allocated plots on resettled farms around Lake Mutirikwi, often made very specific claims to land which appealed to autochthonous knowledge of the landscape, invoking memories of past occupations and the burial of ancestors in the land. Such claims were reinforced by the official ‘return’ of the powers of chiefs over resettlement areas and often sat uneasily next to both the increasing participation of technocratic government planning departments such as AREX (Agricultural Research and Extension), and the waning authority of war veterans who initially spearheaded the land occupations of 2000. Dealing with contemporary events in the monumental presence of a large modern dam built under colonial rule in the 1960s, and set in the context of ZANU PF’s revived, if severely narrowed, discourse of anti-colonial nationalist fervour and sovereignty, this case study points to the complexity of what has often been over-simplistically characterised as ‘Zimbabwe’s authoritarian turn’, highlighting how for some ‘new farmers’ and others in the Masvingo area, fast track land reform was understood as a response to older, lingering imaginations of, and localised aspirations for, postcolonial stateness and ‘modernity’ in Zimbabwe.

  • The Miracle of Lundi Mission in Zimbabwe
    1 Photo by Jonathan Houser TRIBUTE TO HAPPYSON WILLIAM MATSILELE CHAUKE 1952 - 2009 Tillman Houser It is not often that men meet great men that influence their lives. Happyson Chauke was one of those in my life. Born and reared in a humble home near Lundi Mission in Zimbabwe, he never flaunted his royal ancestry. My wife and I spent thirty-five years as missionaries in Zimbabwe with our first assignment at Lundi Mission. Our two sons played with Happyson while learning his language. Happyson attended the local primary school and secondary school managed by the missionaries. Later on he returned to teach in 1976 at Lundi Mission. Missionaries were evacuated from the mission because of the danger in the area of the guerilla-type warfare when the Africans struggled to gain their independence. In the 1990s, while staying with Happyson’s family at their home in Harare, he told me that he had documented the events that had occurred at Lundi Mission in the four years until independence in 1980. I asked him to send me the account as well as other papers he had written. I immediately saw their high quality and sensed the importance of preserving them. Certainly they should be published for readers worldwide. That is the reason I have compiled the documents into the following book format. Which leads me to the observation I have often made of the distinctive qualities I have seen in those of royal blood. There was displayed a characteristic fineness in the life of Happyson. I saw pride accompanied by a natural humility in his relationships toward others.
