  • 1. Summary of Project Activities
    Annex 9.3 1. Summary of Project Activities A. Broadcasting of The Team Television Series: ZIMBABWE The Team, SFCG’s flagship television program for promoting peace in Zimbabwe, attained widespread popularity on ZBC TV during its broadcast between the end of September and December 30, 2011. As a result, ZBC plans to rescreen the series on its second channel, Channel 2. SFCG is currently waiting to hear the dates of the rebroadcast. In addition, the series will be broadcast on CFI in all of sub‐Saharan Africa B. Marketing and Media Campaign In the sixth quarter of the project, SFCG signed an agreement with Mai Jai Films and contracted Zimbabwe Young Women’s Network for Peace (ZYWNP), a website developer, Hannibla Ndlovu and a graphic artist, Wisdom Tayengwa to put together a marketing campaign for The Team. The campaign has had three pillars: a) building a buzz in the national and local media about the show; b) creating a visual brand and publicity materials to be distributed throughout communities; and c) organizing a launch event and subsequent screenings of the show in Harare. The Launch event took place in Harare on November 3, 2011. The event was attended by approximately 100 people, including one of the managers of ZBC TV, several members of the donor, media and NGO community – particularly those working in the field of peacebuilding. Artists as well as various representatives of political parties were also present. The participants gave positive feedback on the event and The Team. Many people found the use of media as a tool for peacebuilding to be very impressive and inspiring.

Dissertations - ALL. 822. https://surface.syr.edu/etd/822 This Dissertation is brought to you for free and open access by the SURFACE at SURFACE. It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract Approximately one quarter of Zimbabwean adults left their country of birth during the past twenty years. These sojourners are increasingly dispersed as tightening immigration regimes in preferred destinations and fluctuating global opportunities lead them to places with fewer historical links to Zimbabwe. This dispersive process fractures many families between multiple international locations. Nevertheless, the idea of family remains centrally important to diasporans, who work with relatives around the world to care for children and elders, to acquire important documents like passports, and to prepare for an eventual return home. Following from performative and relational theorizations of kinship, this dissertation argues that collaborative projects are crucibles in which families are forged and reconfigured. This exploration of how dispersion shapes family life deploys three analytical lenses: history, space and technology. Contemporary journeys are historically linked to a century of dispossession and labor-migration in Southern Africa. Colonial governments used onerous “bioinformational regimes” to subjugate Africans and profit from their labor.

  • Indigenous Knowledge and Climate Change: Insights from Muzarabani, Zimbabwe
    Indigenous Knowledge and Climate Change: Insights from Muzarabani, Zimbabwe by Nelson Chanza Submitted in Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Environmental Geography Faculty of Science, Promoter: Dr Anton H. de Wit December, 2014 Dedication To my mother, Thokozile (Thokozayi). It was on one of the days in 2006 when we were busy weeding a dry maize field in the village. We had gone for three solid weeks without a single drop of rainfall, a situation that you described as peculiar. By that time, I did not figure it that you were referring to observable changes in the local climate system. Vividly, I can remember that on the same evening, you accurately predicted that the eastern-Mozambican current we experienced signalled the coming of rainfall in the next few hours. Amazingly, we received heavy downpours on the same night. My worry is that this knowledge will be lost as your generation vanishes. In recognition of your invaluable knowledge, I dedicate this thesis to you. ii Acknowledgements My two solid years of family detachment have proven beyond doubt that my prudent wife, Nyasha is a gift from God. She defied all the odds to make sure that our kids Tabitha, Angel and Prophecy received adequate parental care. In particular, she braved the demanding questions that our son incessantly pressed concerning his father’s whereabouts – Dadie varipi mama? Vanouya rini? Vanodii kuuya kumba? Her diligent support made this output possible. An expression of gratitude goes to Dr Anton de Wit for his thoughtful comments and guidance towards the successful production of this thesis.

  • Zimbabwe Page 1 of 20
    Zimbabwe Page 1 of 20 Zimbabwe Country Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2006 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor March 6, 2007 Zimbabwe, with a population of approximately 11.6 million, is constitutionally a republic, but the government, dominated by President Robert Mugabe and his Zimbabwe African National Union Patriotic Front (ZANU PF) since independence, was not freely elected and is authoritarian. The last two national elections, the presidential election in 2002 and the parliamentary elections in March 2005, were not free and fair. Although the constitution allows for multiple parties, the ruling party and security forces intimidated and committed abuses against opposition parties and their supporters and obstructed their activities. The divided Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) is the country's principal opposition; despite the fraudulent elections, the MDC factions held 41 of 120 elected seats in the House of Assembly and seven of 50 elected seats in the Senate at year's end. The civilian authorities generally maintained control of the security forces, but often used them to control opposition to the ruling party. The government engaged in the pervasive and systematic abuse of human rights. The ruling party's dominant control and manipulation of the political process through intimidation and corruption effectively negated the right of citizens to change their government. Unlawful killings and politically motivated kidnappings occurred. The state sanctioned the use of excessive force and torture, and security forces tortured members of the opposition, union leaders, and civil society activists. Prison conditions were harsh and life threatening. Security forces arbitrarily arrested and detained journalists, demonstrators, and religious leaders; lengthy pretrial detention was a problem.
