Traditional and Western Knowledge Integration in Water Governance and Its Implications for Rural Livelihoods in Esigodini, Zimbabwe Traditional and Western Knowledge Integration in Water Governance and its Implications for Rural Livelihoods in Esigodini, Zimbabwe A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Water Resource Management The University of Canterbury Christchurch, New Zealand Xolile Ncube The College of Science Waterways Centre for Freshwater Management 24 February 2019 Abstract Globally, the quality and quantity of water resources continue to decline, and there has been a realisation that water governance systems based solely on Western science, are not providing adequate solutions to the world’s water challenges. This has seen an increased interest in the integration of traditional and Western-based knowledge systems for efficient water management from the 1980s. Proponents of the notion, however, argue that although Western science and traditional knowledge are different, they can complement each other and improve the manner in which the world’s water resources are managed. In Zimbabwe, 70% of the population resides in rural areas, and 50% of the total population lives on communal lands, and utilises traditional knowledge on a daily basis to manage water. A plural legal system exists in the country, however, water statutory instruments do not recognise Indigenous knowledge systems. There are no provisions in water legislation and policy for improved access to water for the expansion of subsistence agriculture, which is mainly practised on communal lands. This qualitative study draws on fieldwork in Esigodini, Zimbabwe, to explore the different traditional water management practices of the Ndebele group. It identifies the opportunities and challenges of establishing a system that integrates traditional and Western-based water management, and considers how such a system can impact rural livelihoods. The research finds that small-scale agriculture is the main livelihood practised in Esigodini Village, and the villagers have, over time, developed traditional water management systems to support this livelihood. The local knowledge systems have, however, evolved over the years to address current water challenges including climate variability, and increased water demand. The study concludes that traditional water management systems practised in Esigodini, encourage the sustainable use of water. A water governance system that integrates traditional and Western- based knowledge can support improved and diversified rural livelihoods and reduce donor dependency in the village. Challenges such as local communities losing faith in government- initiated collaborative processes, have impelled the study to recommend that a third space be established. This space will allow for cross learning and formulation of information that contributes to decision making, legislation, and policy. A monitoring framework that is based on traditional and Western ways of knowing will need to be developed to monitor the outcomes of the implementation of the integrated system. All stakeholders need to participate with respect for each way of knowing and in good faith, in order for the collaborative process to have positive outcomes for rural livelihoods in Esigodini Village. Keywords: Water Governance, Traditional Knowledge, Rural Livelihoods i Acknowledgements I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the Esigodini villagers and government departments including the Umzingwane Rural District Council (RDC), the District Development Fund (DDF) and the Agricultural Technical and Extension (Agritex) Department for their invaluable participation and contribution to this study. I would also like to thank the former Minister of Water Development and Management, Dr Samuel Sipepa Nkomo for taking time out of his busy schedule to be a part of this research. To those who were not formally interviewed for this study, but participated in giving more insight into the concept of traditional knowledge, or showed the research team the safest and quickest routes to take, your contribution is greatly appreciated. To this day I am in awe of how you all came together and assisted me in making the data collection exercise for this thesis a success. To my supervisors Dr Ed Challies and Dr Garth Cant, words cannot express my gratitude for your support and advice throughout the research process. I left every supervision meeting challenged to think beyond that which I possibly thought I could, I thank you both for provoking me to be a more critical thinker. To the Waterways Centre, your level of excellence is amazing, and I am really glad I was a part of you. To the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, this scholarship has afforded me the opportunity to grow both academically and as an individual, I am grateful. To student care and my advisor for making the transition from Zimbabwe to New Zealand so easy for me, and for the consistent support, I thank you. To my family, my “loudest cheerleaders”, (Mum, Gugu, Zie, Zoe), your prayers and unconditional love for me transcend borders, locate and sustain me. I can never put my love and appreciation for you into words. Through this thesis journey, I have made family and friends from all over the world who have supported me, and provided comic relief when it was all too hard, I appreciate you all. Last and definitely not least, to God, my author and my finisher, I am because You are, and I can never imagine doing this life without You. ii Table of Contents Acknowledgements ....................................................................................................ii List of Figures ............................................................................................................ vi List of Tables ............................................................................................................. vi Acronyms ................................................................................................................. vii Working Definitions of Terms ................................................................................... viii Chapter One ............................................................................................................... 1 Introduction: Integrating Traditional and Western-Based Knowledge in Water Governance ................................................................................................................ 1 1.1 Introductory Statement ........................................................................................ 1 1.2 Background ......................................................................................................... 2 1.2.1 Water Governance through Different Eras .............................................................. 2 1.2.2 Water Management in Zimbabwe – Past and Present .............................................. 3 1.3 Thesis Rationale .................................................................................................. 7 1.4 Research Aim, Objectives and Questions ............................................................ 7 1.4.1 Research Aim ..................................................................................................... 7 1.4.2 Research Question .............................................................................................. 8 1.5 Thesis Overview and Structure ............................................................................ 8 1.6 Chapter Summary ............................................................................................... 9 Chapter Two ............................................................................................................. 10 Indigenous Knowledge and Water Management: A Literature Review .................... 10 2.1 Introduction ........................................................................................................ 10 2.2 Traditional Knowledge ....................................................................................... 10 2.2.1 The Emergence of the Field of Indigenous Knowledge Research ............................ 12 2.2.2 Western-Based Education versus Traditional-Based Social Learning....................... 14 2.3 The IWRM Paradigm ......................................................................................... 16 2.3.1 The Influence of IWRM on Water Governance in Developing Countries ................... 17 2.3.2 Challenges of Contextualising IWRM in Zimbabwe ................................................ 18 2.4 Access to Water for Rural Livelihoods ............................................................... 20 2.5 Debate over the Integration of Indigenous and Western-Based Knowledge Systems .................................................................................................................. 23 2.6 Conclusion ......................................................................................................... 26 Chapter Three .......................................................................................................... 28 Research Methods ................................................................................................... 28 3.1 Introduction ........................................................................................................ 28 3.2 The Study Area.................................................................................................. 28 3.2.2 Rural Livelihoods in Esigodini ............................................................................. 29 3.3 Data Collection

Box MP167, Mt. Pleasant, Harare, Zimbabwe b WaterNet, P.O. Box MP600, Mt. Pleasant, Harare, Zimbabwe c ICRISAT Bulawayo, Matopos Research Station, P.O. Box 776, Bulawayo, Zimbabwe d Minerals Resources Centre, University of Zimbabwe, P.O. Box MP167, Mt. Pleasant, Harare, Zimbabwe Abstract The Mzingwane River is a sand filled channel, with extensive alluvial aquifers distributed along its banks and bed in the lower catch- ment. LandSat TM imagery was used to identify alluvial deposits for potential groundwater resources for irrigation development. On the false colour composite band 3, band 4 and band 5 (FCC 345) the alluvial deposits stand out as white and dense actively growing veg- etation stands out as green making it possible to mark out the lateral extent of the saturated alluvial plain deposits using the riverine fringe and vegetation . The alluvial aquifers form ribbon shaped aquifers extending along the channel and reaching over 20 km in length in some localities and are enhanced at lithological boundaries. These alluvial aquifers extend laterally outside the active channel, and individual alluvial aquifers have been measured with area ranging from 45 ha to 723 ha in the channels and 75 ha to 2196 ha on the plains. The alluvial aquifers are more pronounced in the Lower Mzingwane, where the slopes are gentler and allow for more sediment accumulation.

  • Changing Hydroclimatic and Discharge Patterns in the Northern Limpopo Basin, Zimbabwe
    Changing hydroclimatic and discharge patterns in the northern Limpopo Basin, Zimbabwe David Love1, 2*, Stefan Uhlenbrook3,4, Steve Twomlow2 and Pieter van der Zaag3,4 1WaterNet, PO Box MP600, Mount Pleasant, Harare, Zimbabwe 2 ICRISAT Bulawayo, Matopos Research Station, PO Box 776 Bulawayo, Zimbabwe 3 UNESCO-IHE, Westvest 7, PO Box 3015, 2601 DA Delft, The Netherlands 4 Department of Water Resources, Delft University of Technology, PO Box 5048, 2600 GA Delft, The Netherlands Abstract Changing regional and global trends in climate and discharge, such as global warming-related declines in annual rainfall in south-eastern Africa, are likely to have a strong influence on water resource availability, and to increase livelihood risk. It is therefore important to characterise such trends. Information can be obtained by examining and comparing the rainfall and runoff records at different locations within a basin. In this study, trends in various parameters of temperature (4 stations), rainfall (10 stations) and discharge (16 stations) from the northern part of the Limpopo Basin, Zimbabwe, were statistically analysed, using the Spearman rank test, the Mann-Kendall test and the Pettitt test. It was determined that rainfall and dis- charge in the study area have undergone a notable decline since 1980, both in terms of total annual water resources (declines in annual rainfall, annual unit runoff) and in terms of the temporal availability of water (declines in number of rainy days, increases in dry spells, increases in days without flow). Annual rainfall is negatively correlated to an index of the El Niño – Southern Oscillation phenomenon. The main areas of rising risk are an increasing number of dry spells, which is likely to decrease crop yields, and an increasing probability of annual discharge below the long-term average, which could limit blue-water availability.

  • Synopsis and Case Studies
    AN EVALUATION OF CLIMATE AND RUNOFF VARIABILITY AND ASSOCIATED LIVELIHOOD RISKS IN THE MZINGWANE CATCHMENT, LIMPOPO BASIN, ZIMBABWE# David Love1,2*,Stefan Uhlenbrook3, Elisha Madamombe4, Steve Twomlow2 and Pieter van der Zaag3 1 WaterNet, PO Box MP600, Mount Pleasant, Harare, Zimbabwe 2 ICRISAT Bulawayo, Matopos Research Station, PO Box 776 Bulawayo, Zimbabwe 3 UNESCO-IHE, Westvest 7, PO Box 3015, 2601 DA Delft, The Netherlands 4 Research and Data Department, Zimbabwe National Water Authority, Harare, Zimbabwe ABSTRACT Climate change occurs over relatively long time scales, although some acceleration in changes can also be seen in data of the last twenty years. The reasons for the current changes in the climatological variables might be anthropogenic (e.g. greenhouse gas emission) or natural (e.g. solar variability etc.), or most likely a combination of both reasons. An increasing body of evidence shows that greenhouse gas emissions are changing our climate significantly. Climate change is projected to substantially reduce available water (as reflected by projected runoff from a catchment) in many of the water- scarce areas of the world A statistical analysis was carried out of over fifty years of precipitation, temperature and runoff data from several locations in the Mzingwane Catchment – the portion of the Limpopo Basin that falls within Zimbabwe. The trends show declines in precipitation and runoff and increases in maximum and minimum temperatures, across the catchment. The trends observed are comparable to those predicted from some of the global circulation models (GCMs) based on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Special Report on Emission Scenarios (IPCC (SRES)). Regression analyses show the relationships between climate variability and change and decreasing runoff.

The Province has borne the brunt of the poverty due to a number of reasons. The following are some of the visible features that have characterized the Province: The accessibility of most rural services and infrastructure by most people has deteriorated due to reduced public spending. There is no stable source of income and no reliable access to food for the majority of the people in the Province. The health and educational services are of low standard and are sometimes not accessible to the poorer sections of the society. The productive capacity of the Province has been affected by persistent droughts and other disasters such as cyclones and HIV and AIDS. In view of the above, the overall goal of this discussion is to build a common understanding of poverty among several stakeholders, its root causes, its manifestation in the Province, but more importantly, how it can be reduced. I. INTRODUCTION Matabeleland South Province is one of the ten administrative provinces in the country. It is located in the south and South-western part of the country.

  • Intestinal Helminthes Infecting Cattle from Matebeleland South Province
    IOSR Journal of Agriculture and Veterinary Science (IOSR-JAVS) e-ISSN: 2319-2380, p-ISSN: 2319-2372.Volume 7, Issue 2 Ver. I (Mar-Apr. 2014), PP 133-138 www.iosrjournals.org Paramphistomes in Matebeleland South Province Zimbabwe and their effect on aspects of blood plasma composition in infected cattle. S. Dube 1 M. Tizauone1 1National University of Science and Technology Department of Applied Biology and Biochemistry, P. O. Box AC939 Ascot, BULAWAYO Abstract: Cattle originating from various localities in Matabeleland South Province were examined for adult Paramphistome prevalence. Of the three thousand 27% were infected with paramphistomes. For identification of paramphistomes, the structures and measurements of diagnostic features were made in median sagittal sections. Analysis of the structures of the acetabulum, pharynx and genital atrium revealed the following parasites in the area: Calicophoron microbothrium, Calicophoron clavula, Calicophoron calicophorum, Calicophoron raja, and Gigantocotyle symmeri in 20 %, 2 %, 5%, 2 % and 2% of cattle examined respectively. The visible damage by adult parasites on the hosts’ tissue were as a result of their sucking the reticulum and rumen mucosa into the acetabulum, which eventually nipped off, leading to slightly hardened areas devoid of rugae due to necrosis. In a few severe cases the papillae was damaged and catarrhal pus like exudate was noticed on the mucosa. Fifty coded Nguni cattle aged three years, infected with paramphistomes had their final carcass mass and blood chemistry recorded. Only total protein and cholesterol showed significant difference between the infected and the controls p<0.05. The final carcass mass was significantly different between cattle harboring more than 500 parasites per animal and the controls P<0.05.
