Copper Mining and Football: Comparing the game in the Katangese and Rhodesian Copperbelts c. 1930 – 1980 Hikabwa D. Chipande University of Zambia Throughout the twentieth century, colonial authorities believed in the power of sport as a tool for moulding submissive labour. Belgian and British colonialists, industrialists and Christian missionaries introduced football to the Katangese and Rhodesian Copperbelts respectively towards the end of the nineteenth century and at the beginning of the twentieth century and attempted to use it as a tool for controlling, and ‘civilising’ colonised Africans. This paper argues that Africans found alternative ways of eluding colonial and capitalist exploitation in the mining towns, appropriated football, used it to build urban networks and sometimes even to express aspirations for independence.

  • Breaking the Silence, Building True Peace: a Report on the Disturbances in Matabeleland and the Midlands, 1980 - 1988
    The Catholic Commission for Justice and Peace in Zimbabwe & The Legal Resources Foundation BREAKING THE SILENCE, BUILDING TRUE PEACE: A REPORT ON THE DISTURBANCES IN MATABELELAND AND THE MIDLANDS, 1980 - 1988 A SUMMARY This report is a short version of a much longer book, which was published and released for sale in Zimbabwe in 1997. This first book was researched and written by the Legal Resources Foundation (LRF) and the Catholic Commission for Justice and Peace. (CCJP ) 2000 copies of this longer book have been published, and most have been sold. A copy was sent to His Excellency the President, and other Cabinet Ministers in Zimbabwe have also read the report. There has been no official comment about the report from the President or Government. Why was the first book written? People who live in Matabeleland and parts of the Midlands know only too well what happened to them during the 1980s. Their lives were affected in serious ways by both government troops and also by dissidents and youth brigades at this time. However, most people from other parts of Zimbabwe still have no idea what it was like for those who were suffering. They have no idea how people still suffer as a result of the violence that took place. People who were affected also do not have ways of talking to people in other parts of the country about what happened. Ordinary people all over Zimbabwe need to know what happened during those years in their own country. Why has this summary been written? The first book was very long, and had to include many details in order to make sure that the claims of the book were well supported.

  • The Lasting Impacts of the Gukurahundi on Matabeleland, Zimbabwe
    “A recipe for another war of revenge”: The Lasting Impacts of the Gukurahundi on Matabeleland, Zimbabwe Ben Teuten 14076774 September 2015 Dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the Master’s degree in Development and Emergency Practice School of Architecture Oxford Brookes University Abstract Although the Gukurahundi massacres officially ended in 1987, they remain a prominent issue in contemporary Zimbabwe. This study investigates the lasting impacts of the Gukurahundi on Matabeleland’s society in an effort to understand the reasons behind the existence of contemporary pressure groups in the affected region. Eight semi-structured interviews with twelve people were conducted in person in Zimbabwe. The sensitivity of the topic, and thus the ethical considerations for the safety of those interviewed and the researcher limited the cohort to those deemed safe to talk to. The results of this study demonstrate that the Gukurahundi continues to have a lasting impact on the affected regions through two noticeable themes: a lack of acknowledgement and a lack of development. The combination of these has resulted in Matabeleland harbouring a deep-seated resentment that has culminated in the creation of pressure groups condemning the government for its crimes. These groups pose a grave threat to the security of the region, either through their own civil unrest or through the fear that the government will unleash a ‘Second Gukurahundi’ in response. Thus, the need for reconciliation in order to prevent any further bloodshed has become urgent. This research makes three recommendations that stand as prerequisites to national reconciliation: national acknowledgement, national apology, and communal reparations. It is widely believed that if the government adhere to these proposals then the tensions of the past will ease and the process of recovery can finally begin.

They are part of the world’s material heritage, and part of history. Ever more of this postal heritage becomes available online, published by stamp collectors’ organizations, auction houses, commercial stamp shops, online catalogues, and individual collectors. Virtually collecting postage stamps and postal history has recently become a possibility. These working papers about Africa are examples of what can be done. But they are work-in-progress!

The family settled in Natal where Thomas and his brothers John and Stewart gained their first farming ex­ perience. In 1892 the three brothers set off for Rhodesia with eight ox- wagons. Three months later they had completed the 700 mile trek to Fort Victoria. Here they opened a store made of whiskey cases and roofed over with the tarpaulins that had covered their wagons. Progress was at first slow, nevertheless, branches were opened in Salisbury in 1893, Bulawayo and Gwelo in 1894, and in Umtali in 1897. From these small beginnings a vast network of stores, hotels, farms, mines and auxilliary undertakings was built up. These ventures culminated in the formation of the Thomas Meikle Trust and Investment Company in 1933. The success of these many enterprises was mainly due to Thomas Meikle's foresight and his business acumen, coupled with his ability to judge character and gather around him a loyal and efficient staff. His great pioneering spirit lives on: today the Meikle Organisation is still playing an important part in the development of Rhodesia. THOMAS MEIKLE TRUST AND INVESTMENT CO. (PVT.) LIMITED.
