The team members agree that the aspect of elaborating solutions for the sustainable development of a community was a significant determinant in their choice of this challenge. The project is presented by Fortune Development Centre (FDC) which is based in Samaringa in the Honde Valley, with a counterpart in Sweden. FDC aims to improve the living conditions of the population in the Honde Valley, focusing on Ward 10. The project encompasses a wide range of topics which require careful attention to the socio- economic and geographical constraints that influence the feasibility of any project. The main objectives of the project are the sustainability of the community in the long run, the introduction of innovative technology with the social acceptance of locals, the identification of a long run development strategy that will lead to the improvement of the quality of life. Once the needs of the community were evaluated and aggregated in terms of priority and potential impact, the team proceeded to a literature review of similar case-studies in sub Saharan Africa rural areas, synthesizing information about different kinds of interventions and technologies, along with their social and environmental implications, risks and economic viability-sustainability. Following two field trips and the evaluation of the actual conditions in Ward 10, the main focus has been identified on the following topics: • Water supply harmonization, purification and sanitation • Sustainable and clean energy access • Roads and infrastructure improvement • Agriculture • Community services • Ecotourism During the trips, the team had the chance to meet the locals and to establish contacts with them, confronting the different opinions and understanding the features of the local culture. A questionnaire has been delivered to the local population to understand their interest in the proposals, and measurements on the water quality have been performed and analysed in the laboratory of Land and Water Department at KTH. For each of these areas, the team identified some proposals, evaluated from the technical, social, ecological and financial point of view. The project aims to identify a path of awareness and acceptance of local population, enhancing local business opportunities and job creation. Moreover, some potential partners for the proposed solutions are suggested and mentioned, in order to give a tool to the customer to implement the solutions of interest, find investors and funding opportunities and approach local authorities to reach agreements on the future cooperation. -3- Abbreviations Abbreviation Significance AD Anaerobic Digestion ARI Acute respiratory infections BCS

HEIKE SCHMIDT Humboldt University at Berlin Philosophische Fakultät III Afrika-Institut Unter den Linden 6 D-10099 Berlin SUMMARY While it was happening, European expansion was often legitimised by evoking frontier images: pioneers setting off from the metropolis, penetrating wilderness in order to open access to resources, like minerals, living-space, and fertile lands. Central to the ideology of the frontier is the notion of ‘no-man’s land’. These ‘pioneers’, however, often had to face local inhabitants and their interpretations and uses of this land. Thus it will be argued that contestations over landscape were at the same time battles over the legitimation of European expansion, as well as over local perceptions of this process. Ideologically, contestations by Europeans and Africans become apparent in the sexualisation of landscape. This paper is based on the case study of a Valley in eastern Zimbabwe on the border with Mozambique, and more specifically of two tea estates which were established in the rainforest.

  • Ndau Identity in Mozambique-Zimbabwe Borderland
    NDAU IDENTITY IN MOZAMBIQUE-ZIMBABWE BORDERLAND Marta Patrício Centro de Estudos Africanos (CEA) ISCTE-IUL – Lisbon University Institute1 [email protected] Introduction The Ndau are one of many African groups that show the division provoked by the establishment of colonial borders. The effects caused by this territorial demarcation to the definition of a transnational Ndau identity, as well as the evolutions around this identitarian feeling, specially affected by sociopolitical transformations in both countries (specially colonial wars and civil wars) are fundamental analysis elements to the update of knowledge about this ethnic group. The academic debates about ethnicity have been largely discussed in the past decades, specially the ethnicity historicity, i.e., if ethnic groups are deep-rooted in ancestral identities or if they were invented by colonialism. Jean-Loup Amselle, for instance, sustains that ethnic identities are colonial creations, that there wasn’t such thing as an ethnic group during pre-colonial ages and that ethnic identities were sculpted only by the colonizers’ will of territorialize the African continent; after that, the local populations have reappropriated these identities2. However, nowadays there is an emerging consensus about the importance of looking to ethnic identities as a process of constant transformations, adaptations and negotiations previous to colonialism (although only known in this period), more than looking for exact moments of crucial construction or rupture3. Ndau identity is deep-rooted in Monomotapa Empire, previous to the Mozambique-Zimbabwe border establishment and prior to colonialism. So the Ndau are an example of shared common social and cultural traits over several centuries, which contributed to the emergence of a sense of Ndauness.

There are many people and environments that galvanized my determination to try. I would like to express my profound gratitude to a very special mentor, advisor, and dissertation chair, who encouraged me to believe that I was taking the right risk to work at the intersection of Science and Technology Studies (STS) and African Studies. It was Gabrielle Hecht who took the risk to bring me to the University of Michigan. In 2006 when my mother and four siblings passed on, I came very close to quitting the doctoral program. I stayed on because all the dedication, care, and belief that Gabrielle had put into my studies—far too much to even quantify—would have been in vain. I hope this dissertation is an acceptable instalment towards repaying that sacrifice she and her family gave while facing difficulties of their own. I thank the other four members of my dissertation committee: Mamadou Diouf who introduced me to the intellectual discussion around Pan-Africanism and Africanity; Nancy Hunt, for introducing me to debates in the studies of health and healing in Africa; Rebecca Hardin, for sharpening my integration of environment science, anthropology, and history; and Arun Agrawal, for encouraging me in engaging Subaltern Studies—and Foucault.

  • RHODES UNIVERSITY Where Leaders Learn
    Nicholas Nyachega 16N3627 RHODES UNIVERSITY Where leaders learn Beyond War, Violence, and Suffering: Everyday Life in the Honde Valley Borderland Communities during Zimbabwe’s Liberation War and the RENAMO Insurgency, c.1960- 2016. Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Masters in African History by full thesis in the Department of History, Rhodes University Supervisor: Prof E. Msindo Co-supervisor: Prof G. Baines January 2017 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the history of the Honde Valley area, in Mutasa District, along the Zimbabwe-Mozambique border. It uses two historic developments: the Zimbabwe liberation war and RENAMO insurgency to explore daily life and mundane experiences of the borderland communities, mainly from the late 1970s to 2016. Because earlier historians of these two historic developments have been much interested in studying the aspects of violence and suffering, this study extends the focus of analysis to the mundane experiences. I argue that in borderland areas, there are other wartime aspects of life worth investigating other than violence and suffering. In doing so, the thesis deploys the notions of conviviality and the everyday to understand the daily experiences of the Honde Valley communities during the disruptions caused to everyday life by these wars. Admittedly, twentieth century wars in Zimbabwe and Mozambique transformed the area that had previously remained at the fringes of colonial power from 1890-1950, into a new and bitterly contested ‘sharp end’ of the war. Nonetheless, peoples’ experiences during these wars cannot be understood merely in relation to violence and suffering. Furthermore, I argue that although some families were forcibly moved into liberation war “Protected Villages ”, they innovatively designed new mechanisms and alternative lifestyles in response to the state’s routinised control.

ISSUED BY AUTHORITY HARARE-1987 :-:;: LIBRASÏ ZU - 06.01 Ölungen ïte Cstteilands 72& ZIMBABWE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY BULLETIN No. 90 iSRiC LIBRARY 2.UU §k-°\ Wagentngen, The Netherlands The Erosion Surfaces of Zimbabwe L. A. LISTER, M.Sc, D.Phil. ISSUED BY AUTHORITY HARARE-1987 /<//é8 PREFACE Nearly all of the eighty-nine previous bulletins of the Geological Survey, including Bulletin No. 1 published in 1913, contain a short introductory statement entitled, "Physical Features". The statement typically gives the height of prominent peaks, notes the trend of the topography, which is invariably attributed to the "nature of the under­ lying rocks", records the direction of drainage of larger rivers and, in some instances, inappropriately includes information on vegetation, climate and communications. It is thus a pleasure to now be able to introduce a definitive work on the geomorphology of the whole country. Dr. L. A. Lister is well qualified to rectify our previously scant appreciation of the complicated evolution of the erosion surfaces of Zimbabwe. She has lectured at the University of Zimbabwe since 1963 and this Bulletin is based on her D.Phil thesis, submitted to the University of Rhodesia in 1976. It summarizes the observations of many years of field work and many kilometres of dusty Land Rover travel. During the course of this work, it was realized that the high Central Axis is the result solely of being the divide between the Zambezi and the Limpopo catchments and is not an uparched axis as earlier authors had postulated.
