The Miracle of Lundi Mission in Zimbabwe 1 Photo by Jonathan Houser TRIBUTE TO HAPPYSON WILLIAM MATSILELE CHAUKE 1952 - 2009 Tillman Houser It is not often that men meet great men that influence their lives. Happyson Chauke was one of those in my life. Born and reared in a humble home near Lundi Mission in Zimbabwe, he never flaunted his royal ancestry. My wife and I spent thirty-five years as missionaries in Zimbabwe with our first assignment at Lundi Mission. Our two sons played with Happyson while learning his language. Happyson attended the local primary school and secondary school managed by the missionaries. Later on he returned to teach in 1976 at Lundi Mission. Missionaries were evacuated from the mission because of the danger in the area of the guerilla-type warfare when the Africans struggled to gain their independence. In the 1990s, while staying with Happyson’s family at their home in Harare, he told me that he had documented the events that had occurred at Lundi Mission in the four years until independence in 1980. I asked him to send me the account as well as other papers he had written. I immediately saw their high quality and sensed the importance of preserving them. Certainly they should be published for readers worldwide. That is the reason I have compiled the documents into the following book format. Which leads me to the observation I have often made of the distinctive qualities I have seen in those of royal blood. There was displayed a characteristic fineness in the life of Happyson. I saw pride accompanied by a natural humility in his relationships toward others. These qualities I saw in those that I knew of his relatives of royal blood. Happyson showed leadership qualities as he was promoted in his teaching career. After teaching at Lundi Mission, he obtained a teaching position at Churchill High School one of the most prestigious white boy’s schools in the Capitol city in Harare. There he was promoted to head the Sixth Form that led eventually to service as Assistant Headmaster of the school. Later he joined the Zimbabwe Education Department and was appointed to define all of the dialects in the various languages in Zimbabwe. During these important duties, he was also working on a dictionary of the language of his own people that had never been done before. Another of his projects was to write the history and culture of the Hlengwe people. This also had never been done before. I pay tribute to this man who has contributed so much to primary knowledge about his own people. The following document is presented to preserve this very important work. 2 PAGE TRIBUTE TO HAPPYSON MATSILELE CHAUKE 1 CONTENTS 2 MAP – ONE 4 MAP – TWO 5 MAP – THREE 6 CURRICULUM VITAE – APPLICATION FOR PHD.

  • Malaria Outbreak Investigation in a Rural Area South of Zimbabwe: a Case–Control Study Paddington T
    Mundagowa and Chimberengwa Malar J (2020) 19:197 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12936-020-03270-0 Malaria Journal RESEARCH Open Access Malaria outbreak investigation in a rural area south of Zimbabwe: a case–control study Paddington T. Mundagowa1* and Pugie T. Chimberengwa2 Abstract Background: Ninety percent of the global annual malaria mortality cases emanate from the African region. About 80–90% of malaria transmissions in sub-Saharan Africa occur indoors during the night. In Zimbabwe, 79% of the population are at risk of contracting the disease. Although the country has made signifcant progress towards malaria elimination, isolated seasonal outbreaks persistently resurface. In 2017, Beitbridge District was experiencing a second malaria outbreak within 12 months prompting the need for investigating the outbreak. Methods: An unmatched 1:1 case–control study was conducted to establish the risk factors associated with con- tracting malaria in Ward 6 of Beitbridge District from week 36 to week 44 of 2017. The sample size constituted of 75 randomly selected cases and 75 purposively selected controls. Data were collected using an interviewer-administered questionnaire and Epi Info version 7.2.1.0 was used to conduct descriptive, bivariate and multivariate analyses of the factors associated with contracting malaria. Results: Fifty-two percent of the cases were females and the mean age of cases was 29 13 years. Cases were diag- nosed using rapid diagnostic tests. Sleeping in a house with open eaves (OR: 2.97; 95% CI± 1.44–6.16; p < 0.01), spend- ing the evenings outdoors (OR: 2.24; 95% CI 1.04–4.85; p 0.037) and sleeping in a poorly constructed house (OR: 4.33; 95% CI 1.97–9.51; p < 0.01) were signifcantly associated= with contracting malaria while closing eaves was protec- tive (OR: 0.45; 95% CI 0.20–1.02; p 0.055).

  • An Investigation Into the Spatial and Temporal Distribution of Fallow Land and the Underlying Causes in Southcentral Zimbabwe
    Journal of Geography and Geology; Vol. 4, No. 4; 2012 ISSN 1916-9779 E-ISSN 1916-9787 Published by Canadian Center of Science and Education An Investigation into the Spatial and Temporal Distribution of Fallow Land and the Underlying Causes in Southcentral Zimbabwe Emmanuel Manzungu1 & Linda Mtali2 1 Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Engineering, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Zimbabwe, Zimbabwe 2 Department of Science Technology, Harare Polytechnic, Zimbabwe Correspondence: Emmanuel Manzungu, Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Engineering, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Zimbabwe, Zimbabwe. E-mail: [email protected] & [email protected] Received: July 11, 2012 Accepted: August 10, 2012 Online Published: September 24, 2012 doi:10.5539/jgg.v4n4p62 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/jgg.v4n4p62 Abstract The purpose of the study was to assess the spatial and temporal distribution of fallow land in Zimbabwean communal lands and the underlying causes against a backdrop of reports of an increasing proportion of agricultural land being left fallow, which has also been reported in other parts of Africa. Chivi district, that is located in the south central part of the country, was used as a case study. Landsat images complemented by field assessments were used to assess changes in fallow land between 1984 and 2010. Standard soil and social science analysis methods were used to assess the likely biophysical and/ or socio-economic causes. The proportion of fallow land was found to increase up to 51.5% during the period, mainly because of socio-economic rather than biophysical factors. Draught power shortage was ranked as the major cause (34%) followed by labor shortage (24%), lack of inputs (22%), and poor soil fertility (16%).
