Initials and Surname: W. Maguraushe Student number: 55544681 Date: June 2017 ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Professor Marc Duby for his visionary guidance and dedication, which kept me on radar throughout the compilation of this thesis. May the Lord bless you abundantly. To my family, thank you so much for enduring long periods without me as I travelled to attend to the demands of this research. Your support makes you my most prized companions. For making this study possible, I would like to acknowledge all my research participants; marimba performers, marimba makers, marimba music fans, and festival organisers. Your commitment to Zimbabwe marimba music performance practice has a reserved place in my heart. To Richard and Isaac, I say bravo! I am personally indebted to members of Rimba Resonance Vibes Ensemble for being such a wonderful band to work with. All of you are destined for dizzy heights in the world of marimba music performance; just keep on scaling! iii ABSTRACT This thesis explores the current state of marimba music performance practice in Zimbabwe. I begin by presenting a historical perspective of the marimba, and then discuss how the Zimbabwe marimba tradition came into being at Kwanongoma College of African Music in Bulawayo. The study continues to unveil how the relatively new marimba tradition has grown to popularity in its 55-year history in the country, with the phenomenal emergence of professional Zimbabwe marimba musicians. The thesis includes analyses of marimba musicians’ lived experiences, traditional and contemporary marimba music compositions, marimba music education programs and mentors, as well as the Zimbabwe marimba construction industry. Using ethnographic methods, the analysis in this qualitative study draws on an application of Christopher Small, Richard Schechner, and Pierre Bourdieu’s theoretical perspectives, amongst others. Results show that marimba music performance practice in Zimbabwe has been kept alive in various permutations, albeit in a harsh economic environment. Education, passion for marimba music, cultural tourism, and festivities are the main avenues where Zimbabwe marimba music performance practice has survived on the margins of Zimbabwe’s popular musical cultural traditions. LIST OF KEY TERMS: marimba music compositions, marimba construction, marimba music education, musicking, marimba performance practice, Zimbabwe marimba. iv ISIFINYEZO Le thesis ihlola isimo samanje somculo wemarimba kanye nokuqhutshwa kwawo eZimbabwe. Ngiqala ngokwethula imibono yezomlando ngemarimba, ebese ngixoxa ngokuthi ngabe usiko lwenkambiso yemarimba eZimbabwe lwaqhamuka kanjani eKwanongoma College of African Music eBulawayo. Ucwaningo luqhubeka luveze ukuthi umculo wemarimba omusha usheshe kangakanani ukukhula nokuba nedumela kumlando weminyaka engu 55 ezweni, kanti futhi nokwenza ukuthi abaculi bemarimba eZimbambwe basebenze ngesiprofeshini. Le thesis ibandakanya ukuhlaziya izipiliyoni zabaculi bemarimba, usiko kanye nokuqanjwa komculo wemarimba, izinhlelo zemfundo yomculo wemarimba kanye nabaqeqeshi abafundisa abasha emculweni, kanye nokwakhiwa kwemboni yomculo wemarimba eZimbabwe. Ukusebenzisa izindlela zesayense yokuchaza abantu eyaziwa ngokuthi yi-ethnography, uhlaziyo kulolu cwaningo olubheka kanzulu, lufunde nokuchaphuna kwimibono yochwepheshe yethiyori yabantu abafana no-Christopher Small, uRichard Schechner kanye no-Pierre Bourdieu phakathi kwabanye. Imiphumela ikhombisa ukuthi ukwenziwa komculo wemarimba eZimbabwe wenziwe ukuthi uqhubeke ngokusebenzisa inqubo yokuhlela izinto ngokuhambelana noma inqubo ye-permutations, kodwa ngaphansi kwesimo esinzima kwezomnotho. Imfundo, ugqozi lomculo wemarimba, inqubo yezovakasho lokufunda ngamasiko kanye nemicimbi ngenye yezindlela lapho khona umculo wemarimba eZimbabwe oboniswa khona nokwaze ukuqhubeka ngayo, nangendlela esetshenzisiwe ukwenza ukuthi umculo uqhubeke nokuba nedumela ngisho nangaphansi kwesimo esinzima eZimbabwe.

A look at the influence of celebrity endorsement on customer purchase intentions: The case study of fast foods outlet companies in Harare, Zimbabwe Jacob Shenje Business Research Consultancy (B.R.C) Pvt Ltd, 5 Rutledge Street, Milton Park Harare, Zimbabwe. Received 14 June, 2017; Accepted 6 July, 2017 Fast foods companies in Zimbabwe have been outcompeting and outclassing each other in using celebrity endorsers for their marketing communications. The study aimed to investigate the impact of celebrity endorsement on consumer purchase intentions. The study’s literature review was based on a copious of celebrity endorsement empirical and theoretical literature. The literature review also acted as bedrock for the research methodology which was later adopted. In order to achieve the research objectives, the study was largely quantitative where survey questionnaires were distributed to customers and these questionnaires were useful in the aggregation of the results. The findings were entered into SPSS software package version 22. The result shows that celebrity endorsement variables showed a positive and significant statistical relationship with consumer buying intentions. The study recommends for fast foods companies to gauge the capacity of celebrities to project multi-attributes which would be consistent and of interest to the consumer’s requirements. There is also the need to strengthen certain aspects of celebrity consumer relationship as way of understanding the implications for product endorsement in the fast foods industry.

  • An Investigation Into the Effectiveness Of
    An investigation into the effectiveness of corporate sustainability programmes and initiatives in the agricultural sector: The case of British American Tobacco Zimbabwe by Stanley Nyanyirai Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy in Sustainable Development Planning & Management in the Faculty of Economic and Management Sciences at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Professor Alan Brent March 2013 Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration by the Student By submitting this work electronically or physically, I hereby do declare that the totality of the work herein is my own, being original, and I am the sole researcher (except to the extent indicated). In consultation with BAT Zimbabwe the reproduction and publication in electronic, physical and any other form by the University of Stellenbosch will not infringe any third party rights. I have not previously, in its entirety or in part, submitted this work for obtaining any other academic or professional qualification elsewhere. Copyright(c) 2013 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved - 1 - Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract In recent years, a great deal of attention has been paid towards the notion of corporate sustainability, which has variously been defined as meaning the incorporation of social, environmental, economic, and cultural concerns into corporate strategy and bottom line. The preliminary investigation suggests that Multi-National Corporations (MNCs) are mainly worried about securing permission for commencing operations and not about the wellbeing of locals and their livelihoods. Further to this, one of the main reasons why efforts aimed at improving sustainability are not yielding significant and lasting results, is that solution seekers in business, science, government and the research community are still operating in the same old paradigm of using basically the same tools and adopting the same world view that threaten sustainability in the first.

  • Interview with Diane Thram by Meredith Holmgren, in Conversation with Diane Thram
    Spring 2014 Interview with Diane Thram by Meredith Holmgren, in conversation with Diane Thram The International Library of African Music (ILAM) at Rhodes University in Grahamstown, South Africa, is widely considered to be the oldest and largest repository of African music field recordings in the world. Founded in 1954 by Hugh Tracey as a research institution and archive, it preserves thousands of historical recordings going back to 1929 and continues to support contemporary fieldwork. Among its most renowned recordings is Hugh Tracey’s seminal Sound of Africa series—selections of which are available from Smithsonian Folkways Recordings—which remains among the most influential fieldwork in the field of African ethnomusicology. Smithsonian Folkways Magazine editor Meredith Holmgren corresponded with ILAM’s director Diane Thram about their impressive collections and projects. The following represents an abbreviated, edited version of the conversation. ***** MH: What are the main collections at the International Library of African Music (ILAM)? DT: ILAM’s major holding is the Hugh Tracey collection, but other holdings include the Andrew Tracey collection and Dave Dargie collection... We’ve recently processed Jaco Kruger’s field collection, which includes extensive research on Venda music, from the northern part of South Africa. And [we have] another collection from a sociologist here at Rhodes University [Michael Drewett] who did a lot of research on the censorship of popular music during apartheid. His field recordings are being processed now and digitized. It’s an ongoing thing. We receive deposits from researchers doing work with African music and one of our aims is to build the archive.
