  • Sociocultural Beliefs and Women Leadership in Sanyati District
    Journal of Social Change 2017, Volume 9, Issue 1, Pages 107–118 ©Walden University, LLC, Minneapolis, MN DOI: 10.5590/JOSC.2017.09.1.10 Sociocultural Beliefs and Women Leadership in Sanyati District Christine Mwale Bindura University Obediah Dodo Bindura University This study explored the level of women participation in leadership identifying some of the challenges thereto in the selected rural district of Sanyati, Zimbabwe. The study sought to address the following aspects: roles of women in Sanyati, sociocultural beliefs with regards to leadership, and the depth of the effects of women’s nonparticipation in leadership. The research guided by the role congruity theory was qualitative in nature trying to understand human behavior and experience influenced by sociocultural norms. Research population composed of chiefs, headmen, village heads, elderly women and men, and councilors who had a sound appreciation of the subject. Twenty-seven participants, nine from each of the three wards, were purposively sampled and deemed enough as the research anchored on anti- positivism. Data collection was necessitated through the use of in-depth interviews and questionnaires, after which latent content analysis was used to analyze data. The study established that the involvement and interest of women in leadership was low because of illiteracy, culture, and ignorance on the part of the women. Keywords: culture, leadership, participation, illiteracy, development Introduction Women have been labeled as the weaker sex in most patriarchal societies, and this has affected all their spheres of life including leadership positions. Zunge (1996); Dodo (2013); and Dodo, Dodo, and Zihanzu (2017) believe that sociocultural beliefs have been a major hindrance to women’s participation in leadership positions despite their capabilities and qualifications.

Abstract: Hidden Health Costs Of Pesticide Use in Zimbabwe’s Smallholder Cotton Balancing the numerous benefits that may accrue from pesticide use on cotton, farmers face health hazards. Pesticide-induced acute symptoms significantly increased the cost of illness in a survey of 280 smallholder cotton growers in two districts of Zimbabwe. Cotton growers lost a mean of Z$180 in Sanyati and Z$316 per year in Chipinge on pesticide-related direct and indirect acute health effects.

  • Evaluation of the Maternal Death Surveillance and Response System in Hwange District, Zimbabwe, 2017 Mpumelelo Maphosa1, Tsitsi P
    Maphosa et al. BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth (2019) 19:103 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12884-019-2255-1 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Evaluation of the Maternal Death Surveillance and response system in Hwange District, Zimbabwe, 2017 Mpumelelo Maphosa1, Tsitsi P. Juru1* , Nyasha Masuka2, More Mungati3, Notion Gombe1, Peter Nsubuga4 and Mufuta Tshimanga1 Abstract Background: Maternal Death Surveillance and Response (MDSR) system was established to provide information that effectively guides actions to eliminate preventable maternal mortality. In 2016, Hwange district sent six maternal death notification forms (MDNF) to the province without maternal death audit reports. Timeliness of MDNF reaching the province is a challenge. Two MDNF for deaths that occurred in February and May 2016 only reached the provincial office in September 2016 meaning the MDNF were seven and four months late respectively. We evaluated the MDSR system in Hwange district. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted. Health workers in the sampled facilities were interviewed using questionnaires. Resource availability was assessed through checklists. Epi Info 7 was used to calculate frequencies, means and proportions. Results: We recruited 36 respondents from 11 facilities, 72.2% were females. Inadequate health worker knowledge, lack of induction on MDSR, unavailability of guidelines and notification forms and lack of knowledge on the flow of information in the system were reasons for late notification of maternal deaths. Workers trained in MDSR were 83.8%. Only 36.1% of respondents had completed an MDNF before. Respondents who used MDSR data at their level were 91.7%, and they reported that MDSR system was useful. Responsibility to complete the MDNF was placed on health workers.

    NATIONAL ACTION PLAN FOR ARTISANAL AND SMALL-SCALE GOLD MINING SECTOR IN ZIMBABWE in accordance with the Minamata Convention on Mercury November 2019 FOREWORD The environment cuts across all sectors of the economy, and society at large, directly or indirectly affecting by providing a range of goods and services. The use of natural resources and environment in general should not unduly impair the productive and assimilative or regenerative capacities of the environment. The Government is aware of socioeconomic benefits of ASGM activities and the associated impacts on the environment. ASGM. The need for development of a National Action Plan (NAP) for ASGM is a requirement under the Minamata Convention. It is designed to protect human health and the environment from anthropogenic emissions and/or releases of mercury and mercury compounds. The NAP allows the Government to be practical in dealing with mercury emissions while guided by baseline information of Mercury use practices in the ASGM Sector. The NAP development started in October 2016. Baseline information on mercury use practices was sought through field measurements and consultations with stakeholders and the public. Consultations were meant to canvas people’s perceptions on key issues to be addressed by the NAP and highlight what the Government should adopt. The NAP document fully and accurately reflects the interests, concerns and preferences of all key stakeholders on the issue of Mercury use, environmental degradation, and social vices associated with ASGM activities. It also recognises the pivotal role played by ASGM Sector in the economy. The overall thrust of NAP is to “reduce, where possible eliminate the use of mercury in the ASGM Sector”.

    MIDLANDS STATE UNIVERSITY FACULTY OF SOCIAL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT OF POLITICS AND PUBLIC MANAGEMENT TOPIC AN ANALYSIS OF POLITICAL INTERFERENCE ON SERVICE DELIVERY: A CASE STUDY OF SANYATI RURAL DISTRICT COUNCIL FROM 2009-2014 BY CHAKAFA LETWIN R122482M Dissertation submitted in Partial fulfilment of the requirements of Bachelor of Science Honours Degree in Politics and Public Management CHAPTER I : INTRODUCTION 1.0 Introduction The chapter focuses on the introductory part of the research, which covers the background of study, the problem under investigation, objectives of the study, research questions, limitations, delimitations and ethical considerations. Although a lot of literature has been written about local government in Zimbabwe, a cold shoulder has been given on the influence of political interference on service delivery. The death in research has forced the researcher to provide an insight on the role of political influence on service delivery. The study sought to provide an analysis of political interference on service delivery to the local community. All local authorities, both rural and urban are mandated to provide adequate services to their areas of jurisdiction. The creation of RDCs was intended to develop and manage rural areas by offering services to the local people. The Rural District Councils play an important responsibility of promoting services to local communities. Nevertheless, the Sanyati Rural District Council is among other local authorities that are failing to deliver adequate services due to the politicized environment in Zimbabwe. This study sought to investigate the influence of political interference on service delivery for 2009 to 2014. The Zimbabwe local government has inherited a system where politics of the day controls service delivery.

This article makes a number of observations that point to a deepening food insecurity, and it makes recommendations to avert further catastrophes. Findings from the study indicate that the Sanyati district in Zimbabwe faces perennial food shortages and relies on government food handouts, drought relief and donor food aid.
