The relationship between the names and the entities they refer to has largely been proved to be significant either as commentaries on the personality traits of the people or characteristics of the animals they refer to or as an expression of the aspirations, attitude or wishes of the namers. Notwithstanding the existence of these studies, studies that focus on the naming of special institutions for people living with disabilities in Zimbabwe are almost non-existent. Focusing on the naming of institutions established specifically for people living with disabilities and taking an ethnographic approach in which interviews and website analysis were carried out, this study demonstrates that special institutions have been named either after prominent personalities in the specific area of disability, after place names in which the institutions are situated and to reflect societal aspirations and attitudes. Most significant was the finding that the names of the institutions relate closely to societal ideology and attitudes towards disability.

Just like that! Documenting the story of three million voices that voted for the Constitution in 2013 and had that disregarded, just like that 2 GUNS&ROSES MAY 2021 1.0 Executive Summary Guns represent war, conflict, destruction and death and in Zimbabwe, the gun had led politics instead of the reverse. This month, we witnessed and report that there has been an upsurge in the political activities and with it there has been an increase in the violation of civil and political rights. This month, the hand of the ruling Zanu PF in human rights violations became more pronounced. Last month, the party contributed to 22 percent of human rights violations perpetrators, and in May, there has been an increase, with the party contributed to 31.87 percent of human rights violations, closely following behind the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP), which contributed to about 38 percent of all violations compared to 50 percent in April. What this means is that the gun – or rather violence – continued to dominate the political space as the country heads for the 2023 elections.

  • Models of Rehabilitation and Evidence of Their Effectiveness
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 421 819 EC 306 577 AUTHOR Miles, M. TITLE Models of Rehabilitation and Evidence of Their Effectiveness: Production & Movements of Disability Knowledge, Skill & Design within the Cultures and Concepts of Southern Africa. PUB DATE 1998-07-00 NOTE 81p.; Keynote Address presented at the Workshop on Research-Informed Disability and Rehabilitation Planning for Southern Africa (Harare, Zimbabwe, June 29-July 2, 1998). PUB TYPE Opinion Papers (120) Reports Descriptive (141) -- Speeches/Meeting Papers (150) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC04 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Adults; African History; Children; *Community Programs; *Cross Cultural Studies; Cultural Awareness; Cultural Differences; Delivery Systems; *Disabilities; Educational Trends; *Family Involvement; Family Programs; Foreign Countries; Models; Program Improvement; *Rehabilitation Programs; Research Needs; *Sociocultural Patterns IDENTIFIERS *Africa (South) ABSTRACT This address begins with a study of self-help by a Mozambican in the 1590s and then imagines a period between the years 2050 to 2150, during which women caring for people with disabilities abolish the need for specialist educational, medical and social services, by multiplying and democratizing the necessary knowledge, skills and design to make them universally available. The paper urges that the cultural and conceptual bases of professional training, originating in Europe, be replaced by local culture and concepts rooted in regional experiences and disability histories. Various models of service provision and evidence of their effectiveness are outlined, including family self-help, traditional healers and teachers, modern centers, and activities described as "Community Based Rehabilitation." It is argued that the worldwide occurrence of causal integration of children with disabilities in ordinary schools has been ignored in policy formulation, suggesting that research evidence does not necessarily affect national policy if it contradicts popular beliefs.

Journal of Social Development in Africa (1988), 3,1, 21-30 Disability and Rehabilitation: Beliefs and Attitudes Among Rural Disabled People in a Community Based Rehabilitation Scheme in Zimbabwe HjACKSON AND R MUPEDZISWA + ABSTRACT This study aimed to examine beliefs about .and attitudes to disability and rehabilitation amongst rural people on a Red Cross Community Based Rehabilitation programme in Gutu District, Masvingo Province, Zimbabwe. A small sample was used, and 56 per cent of respondents blamed traditional causal agents for disability in the family (witchcraft and spirits), 33 per cent blamed God and only a small minority blamed natural causes. Thirty six per cent sought traditional help first and 64 per cent medical help with 62 per cent seeking both at some stage. There was no correlation, however, between expressed belief in a causal agent and the type of help sought (traditional or medical), or whether that help was valued. It was also found that the Red Cross Community Based Rehabilitation programme, whilst being valued for its practical assistance, had almost no impact on people's beliefs about causal agents. Introduction The number of people with disabilities worldwide is estimated by the World Health Organisation (WHO) to be in the region of 10 per cent. In Zimbabwe, the only extensive data on the incidence of disability is provided by the National Disability Survey of Zimbabwe conducted in 1981 as part of the programme for the International Year of Disabled Persons.

  • The History of the Shona Protest Song: a Preliminary Study*

This item is from the digital archive maintained by Michigan State University Library. Find more at: http://digital.lib.msu.edu/projects/africanjournals/ Available through a partnership with Scroll down to read the article. Zambezia (1981), IX (ii). THE HISTORY OF THE SHONA PROTEST SONG: A PRELIMINARY STUDY* G.P. KAHAR1 Department of African Languages, University of Zimbabwe THE HISTORY OF the modern protest song in Zimbabwe is clearly an account of the development of the traditional genre, the song, as it was sung and performed before a live and participating audience in the village before the coming of the White people. Nowadays it is sung to the accompaniment of Western musical instruments before a non-participating audience over the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation Radio or before international audiences on Zimbabwe's national days. The task of tracing the course of Southern Rhodesian colonial and imperial historical events and of relating them to the development of the protest song is not an easy one. This being so, I have divided the ninety-odd years into four stages which I think are connected with that development. The first is the period prior to 1890, which is fundamental. The second is 1890-1945, the third 1945-64, and the fourth 1965-80. As the period I am called upon to cover is so long, it will be difficult to avoid rather vague generalizations, especially when I come to deal with the most sensitive period, 1965-80, when not only were more songs composed than at any previous period but also more leaders were competing for the people's support.

  • Disability Sport in Sub-Saharan Africa: from Economic Underdevelopment to Uneven Empowerment
    Disability and the Global South, 2014 OPEN ACCESS Vol.1, No. 1, 44-63 ISSN 2050-7364 www.dgsjournal.org Disability Sport in Sub-Saharan Africa: From Economic Underdevelopment to Uneven Empowerment Andrew Novaka* aAmerican University Washington College of Law; George Mason University. Corresponding Author- Email: [email protected] Although athletes with disabilities have integrated into mainstream sport at a rapid rate across the world, Sub-Saharan Africa remains on the periphery of disability sport participation. Disability sport, like most modern regulated sports, has diffused from the Global North to the Global South, and continues to reproduce that process of diffusion though increasingly expensive sport prostheses, adapted equipment, and coaching techniques. The colonial underdevelopment of disability services and coexisting racial inequalities has led to the uneven diffusion of disability sport across the continent, which is reflected by South Africa’s domination of African participation in the Paralympic Games. The result is a ‘disability divide’ in international sport, where the increasing access to technology and sport assistance from the Global North largely benefits a few privileged elite disability athletes, most famously South African sprinter Oscar Pistorius. Presented from a historical perspective, the article traces the origins of the ‘disability divide,’ concluding that integration between disabled and non-disabled athletes around the world may reinforce the continent of Africa’s subordinate status in global capitalism through dependence on international sport aid and athletic migration. Keywords: Sports; disability; colonialism; sub-Saharan Africa Defining the Disability Divide Athletes with disabilities increasingly compete with and against non-disabled athletes on the track, on the field, and in the pool.

  • The Place of Sign Language in the Inclusive Education of Deaf Learners in Zimbabwe Amid Crpd (Mis)Interpretation Hapter C 5
    THE PLACE OF SIGN LANGUAGE IN THE INCLUSIVE EDUCATION OF DEAF LEARNERS IN ZIMBABWE AMID CRPD (MIS)INTERPRETATION HAPTER C 5 Martin Musengi* Summary This paper sets to explore how Zimbabwean law and policy relate to the CRPD in informing educational practice for learners who are deaf. The paper is an analytical discussion of the educational policy and practice issues related to the recent recognition of Zimbabwean Sign Language (ZSL) in a multicultural context where mother-tongue-based teaching is a right for meeting the inclusive education needs of all learners, including those who are deaf. It argues that one-size-fits-all, deficit interpretations of Zimbabwean inclusive education policies and law are in violation of the ‘sensory exception’ enshrined in the Salamanca Statement (UNESCO, 1994). These interpretations occur in the midst of major misinterpretations of the CRPD evident in General Comment 4. Misinterpretations of the CRPD affirm instances of local policy contradictions, inconsistencies and co-articulation as some policies are imbued with perceptions of deafness as a disability at the same time also having aspects that recognise deaf people as a linguistic minority. The deficit interpretations and inconsistencies in local policies occur despite constitutional provisions that recognise deaf learners’ right to a preferred sign language. Based on this case example of deaf learners, a general re-interpretation of the CRPD and a re- conceptualisation of inclusive education are recommended. 1Introduction Persons with disabilities were historically viewed as welfare recipients. They are now generally recognised as having the right to education without discrimination and on the basis of equal opportunities.

  • The Development of Special Education Services in Zimbabwe
    International Journal of Special Education 2004, Vol 19, No.2. THE DEVELOPMENT OF SPECIAL EDUCATION SERVICES IN ZIMBABWE Morgan Chitiyo and John Wheeler Tennessee Technological University When Zimbabwe gained independence in 1980, the government started a massive expansion of the education system. Two decades later, the country’s literacy rate had risen to one of the highest in sub-Saharan Africa. However, the same cannot be said for special education. This paper examines the development of the education system in Zimbabwe with special attention given to the history of special education. This paper examines why special education has lagged behind in terms of its development in a country where the education system has developed so rapidly. Zimbabwe is a landlocked Southern African country, which borders on South Africa, Zambia, Mozambique and Botswana. Zimbabwe is a young country having obtained independence from Great Britain in 1980. Prior to gaining independence, the county’s educational system could best be described as a dual system of education. Under this system, the blacks were largely educated through the efforts of individuals, churches, and missionaries who felt a moral obligation to help. This background suffices to mention that there were no formal special education services to speak of. Whatever special schools were built during the colonial era were designed for white students only. Blacks could not afford them. It would be unfair, though, to solely blame the colonial system for the lack of services in special education. In most African societies people with physical and mental disabilities did not command respect in society. In fact, some communities shunned them as outcasts.
