  • Electoral Violence and Young Party Cadres in Zambia
    VOLUME 18 NO 1 DOI: 10.20940/JAE/2019/v18i1aDOI: 10.20940/JAE/2019/v18i1a7 7 129 ELECTORAL VIOLENCE AND YOUNG PARTY CADRES IN ZAMBIA Kabale Ignatius Mukunto Kabale Ignatius Mukunto is a lecturer at the Dag Hammarskjöld Institute for Peace and Conflict Studies, Copperbelt University, Kitwe, Zambia ABSTRACT Zambia’s 2016 general elections were a turning point in the country’s political history, with electoral violence threatening its democratic fabric. This paper analyses accounts of electoral campaigns by one private online newspaper, the Lusaka Times, to reflect on the relationship between electoral violence and young party cadres. Evidence from the study indicates that negative socioeconomic conditions, leadership manipulation and incentives as well as the perception of plural politics all contribute to the susceptibility of young people to electoral violence. The violence witnessed in 2016 included molestation and intimidation, seizure of public property, public disorder, vandalising of party property, lawlessness and aggressive rhetoric. The paper also notes that events of 2016 were counterweight to the consolidation of democracy as the activities of young party cadres undermined the free political participation of other stakeholders. Keywords: electoral violence, electoral campaigns, young party cadres, Zambia INTRODUCTION Ascent to power through an election is assumed to legitimise those in government. Elections are considered a neutral arbiter for the contending parties and to some extent instil confidence in political players. Conversely, voters see considerable incentive in being part of the process to usher in their preferred candidates to facilitate improved service delivery. Elections constitute a transitional mechanism at the core of democracy, ideally supporting all institutions.

  • Confronting Urban Planning Challenges in Chipata District
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 9 April 2019 doi:10.20944/preprints201904.0114.v1 CONFRONTING URBAN PLANNING CHALLENGES IN CHIPATA DISTRICT, ZAMBIA: NOTES FROM THE FIELD Camille Tuason Mata Abstract Since the public inauguration of the URP (Urban and Regional Planning) Bill in 2009, which is now law (The Urban and Regional Planning Act No. 3 of 2015), urban planning in Zambia has undergone changes. In partnership with the Volunteer Service Overseas (VSO) Federation, the Zambian parliament put into effect pilot urban planning assistance programs to assist districts around the country, including Chipata District in 2011, transition to a more decentralized, integrated and locally-defined approach to urban planning. However, the presence of discrimination, corruption, and negative attitudes towards urban planning engagement, social maladies prominently displayed in Zambian society, pose challenges to implementing the ideal goals of the 2009 URP Bill. The extreme, widespread poverty in Zambia merely exacerbates the propensity towards corrupt and discriminatory behavior, and influences poor attitudes toward urban planning engagement. This paper describes the projects undertaken by the VSO volunteer from the USA between 2011 and 2012 in the light of the specific urban problems facing Chipata District, and discusses the ways the social maladies play out in Zambian society to pose challenges to implementing the recommended changes to the planning system scribed in the 2009 URP Bill.
