The Case of Thomas Mapfumo's Masoja Nemapurisa
© Kamla-Raj 2015 J Communication, 6(2): 260-269 (2015) Rebuking Impunity through Music: The Case of Thomas Mapfumo’s Masoja Nemapurisa Everisto Benyera Department of Political Sciences, University of South Africa, Pretoria, 0003, Republic of South Africa E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] KEYWORDS Popular Music. Impunity. Zimbabwe. Human Rights. Transitional Justice ABSTRACT Popular music has been used since the colonial times as an instrument of criticizing the various levels of authority in Zimbabwe. It was used as an artistic vehicle for denouncing colonialism. After independence, the same medium was used to agitate for social justice. More than thirty years after independence the same genre is being used to denounce impunity and political violence. Through the years what has changed is the language, which migrated from euphemism to confrontational lyrics, not the message, which has consistently attacked the authorities. The paper begins by theorizing popular music as an arts genre. This is followed by an analysis of songs that were critical of the colonial governments and those that criticized the post-independence government. The music of Thomas Mapfumo was singled out as protest music, which consistently spoke to the authorities about their perceived shortcomings.

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. -

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. -

Popular Expressions of Southern African Nationalism(S): Convergences, Divergences, and Reconciliations in South Africa and Zimbabwe
POPULAR EXPRESSIONS OF SOUTHERN AFRICAN NATIONALISM(S): CONVERGENCES, DIVERGENCES, AND RECONCILIATIONS IN SOUTH AFRICA AND ZIMBABWE By Blessing Shingirirai Mavima A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of African American and African Studies – Doctor of Philosophy 2019 ABSTRACT POPULAR EXPRESSIONS OF SOUTHERN AFRICAN NATIONALISM(S): CONVERGENCES, DIVERGENCES, AND RECONCILIATIONS IN SOUTH AFRICA AND ZIMBABWE By Blessing Shingirirai Mavima Popular Expressions of Pan-Africanism and Southern African Nationalism(s): Convergences, Divergences, and Reconciliations in South Africa and Zimbabwe is a dissertation study that traces the transformations, reveals the tensions, and critically analyzes diverging and converging trajectories of different manifestations of African nationalism, including ethnic nationalism, state nationalism, and Pan-Africanism using contemporary South Africa and Zimbabwe as sites of analyses. Focusing on the metropolitan provinces of Gauteng and Harare respectively, I use the study to interrogate how popular expressions of African nationalism have emerged and evolved in the neighboring nations during their anti-colonial/anti-apartheid struggles throughout the 20 th century, and how they exist today. Presenting a thesis that I call nationalisms from below, the research study reveals how these manifestations of nationalism are imagined, practiced, and represente d by the initiatives and actions of different members of the civil society including artists, activists, laborers, and migrants in the two countries’ contemporary politics and society. My findings lead to a nuanced determination of the factors that influence the intersections, divergences, and convergences of what I refer to in the study as Africa’s tripartite nationalist expressions and identities—ethnicism, African Nationalism, and Pan- Africanism.
