EXAMINERS’S SIGNATURES SIGNED: _______________________________ DATE: ______________________ SIGNED: ________________________________ DATE: _______________________ SIGNED: ________________________________ DATE: ______________________ iii ABSTRACT The study sought to examine the translation strategies applied to establish meaning equivalence in the process of translating news in English into Nyanja at the Zambia National Broadcasting Corporation (ZNBC). The objectives of the study were three fold: Firstly, to establish the strategies that are used when translating news in English into Nyanja at ZNBC; Secondly to determine the equivalence between the news in English and the translated news in Nyanja at ZNBC and thirdly to establish challenges if any, faced by the translators when translating News in English into Nyanja at ZNBC. The Descriptive model of translation commonly known as Descriptive translation studies guided the study as it is a non prescriptive means of understanding the norms at work in the translation process and of discovering general laws of translation through textual analysis of the Source text and Target text. A case study design was employed in the study, so as to allow a detailed and intensive analysis of a single case. Qualitative approaches were used to collect data from 8 respondents and 90 news items: 1 Radio Manager, 1 programme organiser, 6 Nyanja section translators, 45 news items in English and 45 corresponding news items in Nyanja from ZNBC Radio One. Purposeful samplings were used to select the sample. The research instruments included: semi-structured interview guide, for the Radio Manager, the programme organiser and Nyanja section translators; a document review guide for the researcher. The qualitative data were coded and grouped according to emerging themes. The results indicated that ZNBC Radio One Nyanja translators mainly use the following translation strategies: omission, use of a general word, neutral or less expressive word, borrowing, addition and literal translation. Furthermore, the study revealed that translators faced challenges when translating certain medical, legal and scientific terminologies as there were no direct equivalent words. Most translators also faced a lack of continuous professional development on translation theory and practice. Based on the findings, the study recommends that Ministry of Higher Education in conjunction with universities in Zambia introduce more courses to train journalists and translators on Translation theory and practice. Futhermore, Research institutes should carry out further studies on how translation strategies can contribute to the creation of new words in Nyanja. iv DEDICATION This study is dedicated to my parents Isaac and Kerita Mvula whose financial and moral support was unwavering and to my siblings Engiwe and Paul who inspire me to be the best I can be. v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS As human beings, we have many limitations. Thus no man is an island; we need each other. I owe the success of this study to many people and institutions who contributed to it. Above all, I thank the Almighty God for His protection, guidance, wisdom and natural intellect rendered to me during my studies. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the following people who without their efforts this dissertation would not have been possible: Dr. Chishiba, my mentor and supervisor for his professional guidance, encouragement and excellent advice throughout my coursework and eventual writing of this dissertation. Dr. Simwinga and Dr. Mambwe for their encouragement on the choice of research topic, advice and academic guidance. Mrs. Dorothy Yengiwe Lungu Zulu for tirelessly assisting me with the back translation of the news items in Nyanja throughout my study. Mrs. Kerita Lungu Mvula for editing the dissertation. ZNBC journalists, for providing me with the necessary information for my research. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS DECLARATION ................................................................................................................ i COPYRIGHT..................................................................................................................... ii CERTIFICATE OF APPROVAL ..................................................................................... iii ABSTRACT ...................................................................................................................... iv DEDICATION ................................................................................................................... v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ............................................................................................... vi TABLE OF CONTENTS .................................................................................................. vii LIST OF TABLES ............................................................................................................. x LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS ............................................................................................ xi CHAPTER ONE ................................................................................................................1 INTRODUCTION ..............................................................................................................1 1.1 GENERAL ...................................................................................................................1 1.2 Background ..................................................................................................................1 1.3 Statement of the Problem ..............................................................................................4 1.4 Aim of the Study ...........................................................................................................5 1.5 Objectives .....................................................................................................................5 1.6 Research Questions .......................................................................................................5 1.7 Significance of the Study ...............................................................................................6 1.8 Delimitations of the Study .............................................................................................6 1.9 Operational Definitions .................................................................................................6 1.9.1 Source Text (ST).....................................................................................................6 1.9.4 Target Text (TT) ....................................................................................................6 1.9.3 Translation Equivalence .........................................................................................6 1.9.4 Translation Strategies ............................................................................................7 1.9.5 Lingua Franca ........................................................................................................7 1.9.6 Nyanja ....................................................................................................................7 1.10 Theoretical Framework ..............................................................................................7 1.11 Structure of Dissertation .............................................................................................8 1.12 Summary ....................................................................................................................8 CHAPTER TWO ...............................................................................................................9 LITERATURE REVIEW ...................................................................................................9 2.0 GENERAL ...................................................................................................................9 vii 2.1 The Concept of Equivalence..........................................................................................9 2.2 Studies on News Translation ....................................................................................... 12 2.2.1 Studies on Nature and process of News Translation .......................................... 12 2.2.2 Research on the Role of Translation in News Translation ................................. 13 2.2.3 Studies on strategies used in News Translation ................................................. 14 2.2.4 Studies on Equivalence

  • Zambia Page 1 of 16
    Zambia Page 1 of 16 Zambia Country Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2002 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor March 31, 2003 Zambia is a republic governed by a president and a unicameral national assembly. Since 1991 generally free and fair multiparty elections have resulted in the victory of the Movement for Multi -Party Democracy (MMD). In December 2001, Levy Mwanawasa of the MMD was elected president, and his party won 69 out of 150 elected seats in the National Assembly. The MMD's use of government resources during the campaign raised questions over the fairness of the elections. Although noting general transparency during the voting, domestic and international observer groups cited irregularities in the registration process and problems in the tabulation of the election results. Opposition parties challenged the election result in court, and court proceedings remained ongoing at year's end. The Constitution mandates an independent judiciary, and the Government generally respected this provision; however, the judicial system was hampered by lack of resources, inefficiency, and reports of possible corruption. The police, divided into regular and paramilitary units operated under the Ministry of Home Affairs, had primary responsibility for maintaining law and order. The Zambia Security and Intelligence Service (ZSIS), under the Office of the President, was responsible for intelligence and internal security. Members of the security forces committed numerous, and at times serious, human rights abuses. Approximately 60 percent of the labor force worked in agriculture, although agriculture contributed only 22 percent to the gross domestic product. Economic growth slowed to 3 percent for the year, partly as a result of drought in some agricultural areas.

  • Post-Populism in Zambia: Michael Sata's Rise
    This is the accepted version of the article which is published by Sage in International Political Science Review, Volume: 38 issue: 4, page(s): 456-472 available at: https://doi.org/10.1177/0192512117720809 Accepted version downloaded from SOAS Research Online: http://eprints.soas.ac.uk/24592/ Post-populism in Zambia: Michael Sata’s rise, demise and legacy Alastair Fraser SOAS University of London, UK Abstract Models explaining populism as a policy response to the interests of the urban poor struggle to understand the instability of populist mobilisations. A focus on political theatre is more helpful. This article extends the debate on populist performance, showing how populists typically do not produce rehearsed performances to passive audiences. In drawing ‘the people’ on stage they are forced to improvise. As a result, populist performances are rarely sustained. The article describes the Zambian Patriotic Front’s (PF) theatrical insurrection in 2006 and its evolution over the next decade. The PF’s populist aspect had faded by 2008 and gradually disappeared in parallel with its leader Michael Sata’s ill-health and eventual death in 2014. The party was nonetheless electorally successful. The article accounts for this evolution and describes a ‘post-populist’ legacy featuring hyper- partisanship, violence and authoritarianism. Intolerance was justified in the populist moment as a reflection of anger at inequality; it now floats free of any programme. Keywords Elections, populism, political theatre, Laclau, Zambia, Sata, Patriotic Front Introduction This article both contributes to the thin theoretic literature on ‘post-populism’ and develops an illustrative case. It discusses the explosive arrival of the Patriotic Front (PF) on the Zambian electoral scene in 2006 and the party’s subsequent evolution.

  • Intra-Party Democracy in the Zambian Polity1
    John Bwalya, Owen B. Sichone: REFRACTORY FRONTIER: INTRA-PARTY … REFRACTORY FRONTIER: INTRA-PARTY DEMOCRACY IN THE ZAMBIAN POLITY1 John Bwalya Owen B. Sichone Abstract: Despite the important role that intra-party democracy plays in democratic consolidation, particularly in third-wave democracies, it has not received as much attention as inter-party democracy. Based on the Zambian polity, this article uses the concept of selectocracy to explain why, to a large extent, intra-party democracy has remained a refractory frontier. Two traits of intra-party democracy are examined: leadership transitions at party president-level and the selection of political party members for key leadership positions. The present study of four political parties: United National Independence Party (UNIP), Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD), United Party for National Development (UPND) and Patriotic Front (PF) demonstrates that the iron law of oligarchy predominates leadership transitions and selection. Within this milieu, intertwined but fluid factors, inimical to democratic consolidation but underpinning selectocracy, are explained. Keywords: Intra-party Democracy, Leadership Transition, Ethnicity, Selectocracy, Third Wave Democracies Introduction Although there is a general consensus that political parties are essential to liberal democracy (Teorell 1999; Matlosa 2007; Randall 2007; Omotola 2010; Ennser-Jedenastik and Müller 2015), they often failed to live up to the expected democratic values such as sustaining intra-party democracy (Rakner and Svasånd 2013). As a result, some scholars have noted that parties may therefore not necessarily be good for democratic consolidation because they promote private economic interests, which are inimical to democracy and state building (Aaron 1 The authors gratefully acknowledge the comments from the editorial staff and anonymous reviewers.
