This is revolutionary progress IThe grass-roots now have their eyes wide-open; they now understand the whys of oppression and the hovis of liberation and they know the difference between real oppressors and their agents4 In Zimbabwe* the white settlers are now in the process of getting ready for their new role of neo-colonial agents while international imperialism prepares itself for the task of governing by proxy.

(continued on page 2) ed and pl;h1ld by& Zimbabwe African Notional Union. PQ Box 2331, Lusako, ZAMBIA. ZIMBABWE. KEWS, OCTOBER 26,1968 Page 2 (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) Palmer, a representative of the world's greatest master in neo-colonial politics, has much to offer Britain and her Rhodesian and South African agents in the form of advice, dollars and military hardware. It is noteworthy the talks between Vorster and Palmer took place hardly a week after the Wilson-Smith deal at Gibraltar and at a time when it was being openly admitted in diplomatic circles that part of the secret Anglo-Rhodesian Deal envisages the granting by Britain of military aid to Rhodesia. Such aid would take the shape of both weapons and men. All that is needed now is for Salisbury to announce its public acceptance of the Gibraltar terms and London will give her both "independence and the indispensable military umbrella which she has been getting from South Africa. George Thomson, the British Minister in charge of Rhodesian affairs, is scheduled to go to Rhodesia within the next few days to work out the details of such British aid and to brief Salisbury on the firm pledge the Yankees have given to help defend Rhodesia and South Africa in the event of "communist aggression.. A South African journalist from the "Sunday Tribune" recently took the trouble to fly to Lusaka only to ask us the following question: " Do you think you have any chance nmw that the possibility exists that. Bitish arms andttropps will be sent to Rhodesia to fight you?" He sounded like a man who knew what he was talking about. Our answer to that provocative question is simple: Our short-run chances may be limited, but there can be no doubth the long-run the entry of British arms and men in this war will have no decisive effect other than that of slowing down our march towards victory.We know this from the valuable lessons of the VietNamese people's war of resistance against American aggression. There, the world's most toothy monster in terms of power and ruthlessness is being forced to sue for peace after suffering the most humiliating defeats any major world power has ever had to stomach. And this Yankee defeat is important because the Pentagon went into the VietNam bush expecting to prove that wars of national liberation could be effectively contained. The tragedy is that the Yankees have lost thousands of men and billions of dollars to prove what has always been true: that imperialism is a paper tiger! The same fate awaits the forces of international imperialism and their agents in Zimbabwe. ZIMBABWE NEWS, OCTOBER 26,1968 Page 3 INSIDE ZIMBABWE NOTES FROM THE UNDERGROUND In the August 3 issue of this publication we reprinted excerpts from a parliamentary speech by Rhodesian hangman Desmond Lardner-Burke in which he sighted a wide-range of underground activities by ZANU as a justification for extending the three-year old Rhodesian state of emergency. Today these small and scattered underground activities, the which are indispensable for conduct of successful guerrilla warfare, have become so wide spread as to terrify Rhodesia's number one policeman who admitted in parliament on Octobet 18 that freedom fighters are active all the way from Gwanda in the South East to Mtoko in the north.Lardner-Burke says that "given half a chanced these freedom-fighters arR°wellorganised as to destroy the whole fabric of "law and order". " .... In the Bulawayo area during August rocks and boulders wereplaced in railway lines. Fortunately only slight damage was caused and there were no injuries to anybody. Also an African(stooge)-owned bus was stoned whilst travelling on the Khami road,Bulawayo, and a motor car (driven by a whiteman) was stoned in a Salisbury suburban area. Again, in Matabeleland, though this time at Gwanda, extensive damage to a building and its stocks was caused by fire. In Mashonaland, in the Mtoko area, witchcraft has been used to foment opposition to land husbandry measures and to incite tribesmen not to dip their cattle. So called political slogans make their appearance on walls in African townships. "There have been other incidents during this three-month period under review in these and other parts of Rhodesia. All these incidents added together indicate the continuing presence of a subversive element within the country..." BRITAIN PREPARES FOR END OF UN SANCTIONS There is mounting speculation in diplomatic circles about the future of the half-hearted U.N. economic sanctions against Rhodesia. A well-placed Western European diplomat in London "-predicted " that by December the British Government will have gone before the UN Security Council to plead for an end to the Sanctions which were imposed after UDI. The same diplomat foresees the use of the veto by Britain should the Afro-Asian group try to resist. There are reports from Rhodesia itself which terd to confirm this. According to these, Rhodesia's white farmers have been secretly assured that they may grow all the tobacco they want this year as there won't ba any sanctions by January. ZIMBABWE NEWS, OCTOBER 26,19 age 4 THESE YOUTHS ARE OUR ALLIES Tomorrow an estimated 40,000 people will be marching through London to demonstrate their solidarity with the VietNamese people's heroic struggle against imperialist aggression. Like their counter-parts in France, West Germany and North.America, these are mostly young people - students, workers and others. They are young anti-imperialist progressives who are as fed-up with the anti- revolutionary policies of the revisionist Communist Parties of Europe and America as they are sick of the "liberal, ideologies of imperialism. The revolt of the youths of the imperialist countries is directly related to the anti- imperialist struggle of the peoples of Africa,Asia and Latin America. In the United States, for example, imperialism spends over V20 billion annually on the VietNam adventure while millions of black and white people in the Arerican South, in Appalachia a in the northern ghettos, go without a pint of milk. Su C % are the facts which show our Afro-American brothers and progressive whites that all imperialist wars fought by t 1-,L E U.S. abroad are detrimental to their interests as worker .4 Hence the blacks in America constitute the vanguard of th , domestic resistance to American imperialist aggression in VietNam and in South America. And if students in Europe and America tend to be among the most revolutionary sectors of the population it is largely because Universities in capitalist countries have become the most willing ally of international imperialism. They are used to conduct research in the weapons of murder; they do research aimed at porpetuating the rule of nec-colonialism in developing countries. That is why the most"successful professors today are those who work for the CIA or those.who, like America's famed Walt Rostow, enjoy playing war games with the Pentagon. Finally, Western Universities are used as a vehicle for selling conservativism and rection among the youth. That is why the University in the dest is among those institutions under attack by youths. These young men and women are our allies because they are fighting imperialism right at home. They are comrades because they share the same ideological outlook as do all the genuine revolutionaries of Africa, Asia and South America..

  • Ethnicity, Development and the Dynamics of Political Domination in Southern Matabeleland
    IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 19, Issue 4, Ver. III (Apr. 2014), PP 137-149 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org Ethnicity, Development and the Dynamics of Political Domination in Southern Matabeleland Clifford Mabhena Institute of Development Studies- National University of Science and Technology-Bulawayo, Zimbabwe Abstract: This article argues that the hegemony of the Shona people in Zimbabwe has been largely influenced by ethnicity and the quest to dominate Matabeleland politically, socially and economically. Development marginalisation of Matabeleland region, I argue has been influenced by ethnicity and politics of revenge. The study used ethnography to collect data and hence in-depth interviews were used as data collection tools. The results of the study indicate that Matabeleland has been largely dominated by the Shona ethnic group, and arguments advanced by scholars for this dominance, it is argued, Ndebele dominated the Shona people in the 19th and 20th centuries. This was due to conquest by the marauding Ndebele warriors under the leadership of King Mzilikazi and latter on King Lobhengula. The ascendance of the Zimbabwe African National Union Patriotic Front (ZANUPF) in the 1980 independence elections opened the gates for the ascendancy of the Shona people as the party was pre-dominantly Shona speaking. The march to state house by the ZANUPF dominated party created a lot of tension between the two ethnic groups; Ndebele and Shona, and hence the lashing out of the fifth brigade in 1983 and 1984 in Matabeleland and Midlands provinces of the country. Key words: Hegemony, ethnicity, internal colonisation, marginalisation I.

  • Bishop Knight-Bruce (1891–1894)
    CHAPTER ONE OCCUPYING THE GROUND: BISHOP KNIGHT-BRUCE (1891–1894) In 1891 the Church of the Province of South Africa (CPSA), a daughter church of the Church of England, expanded into Central Africa. A diocese was created by the Provincial Synod for an area north of the Diocese of Pretoria, which ended at the Limpopo River. This diocese, “for Mashonaland and the surrounding territories”,1 was one of the largest Anglican dioceses in the world. It was roughly the size of France, two-and-a-half times the size of Great Britain (see Map 1, p. xx). The central area of the original diocese is today divided into the fi ve dioceses of the Anglican Church in Zimbabwe (Harare, Matabeleland, Mutare, Central Zimbabwe and Masvingo). Mashonaland itself was little known to the outside world in 1891 and undefi ned, other than by its general topography and the distribu- tion within it of Shona-speaking peoples (‘the Mashona’). At its centre was a large, high plateau, well-wooded and watered. To the north, the land fell away to the Zambezi River; to the east, in the region of the Manyika people rose a mountainous barrier beyond which lay the colony of Portuguese East Africa. Much of the area was dominated by two peoples of Southern, Nguni, origin: the Gaza, in ‘Umzila’s country’ to the south-east;2 and the Ndebele (‘Matabele’), in the south-west (see Map 2, p. xxi). Ndebele territory (Matabeleland) was itself bordered to the south- west, across the Ramokwebana and Shashe Rivers, by territory known as ‘Khama’s country’: Khama was the leading chief of a number of native polities which had come under British infl uence, as the Bechuanaland Protectorate, in 1885.3 To the south-east of Matabeleland and south- west of Gazaland ran the Limpopo River, which served not only as an ecclesiastical boundary between the new Diocese of Mashonaland and 1 ‘The Bishop’s Letter: Resolutions: Section VII’, CMSA 6:64 (April 1891), xxxi.

  • CONIFA As a Platform for Football Diplomacy
    The Hague Journal of Diplomacy 15 (2020) 329-354 brill.com/hjd Para- and Proto-Sports Diplomacy of Contested Territories: CONIFA as a Platform for Football Diplomacy Ramesh Ganohariti School of Law and Government, Dublin City University, Dublin, Ireland [email protected] Ernst Dijxhoorn Institute of Security and Global Affairs, Leiden University, Leiden, The Netherlands [email protected] Received: 26 November 2019; revised: 21 April 2020; accepted: 23 May 2020 Summary International relations and sport have become increasingly intertwined, with sport and sports events being used for various diplomatic and political goals. Yet, member- ship of FIFA and the IOC is largely organised along lines of sovereign statehood. Like other fora of diplomacy, this excludes contested territories that wish to engage in di- plomacy for various political, economic, and cultural reasons. Yet, these entities can engage in international sports (diplomacy) through membership of the Confederation of Independent Football Associations (CONIFA). This paper finds that while the par- ticipating entities often make a political statement, there is little evidence that par- ticipation in CONIFA has positively impacted their foreign policy goals. Furthermore, beyond CONIFA, contested territories have been unable to advance their sporting sov- ereignty or engage in diplomatic relations with recognised states. However, CONIFA aids in nation branding through hosting rights and media attention, and contributes to strengthening the ‘national’ identity

  • Warhurst, PR, Colonial Office & British Expansion, the Zambezi, 1885
    UNIVERSITY OF RHODESIA HENDERSON SEMINAR NO. 45 SEMINAR: 30 MARCH 1979. THE COLONIAL OFFICE AND BRITISH EXPANSION TO THE ZAMBEZI, 1835- 91^ by: P. R. Warhurst ROBINSON AND GALLAGHER, in their seminal work Africa and the Victorians/ detect a certain ambivalence in British policy towards the interior of southern Africa. Describing the 'ambivalent attitude to the Transvaal* shown by Colonial Secretary Knutsford as 'typical of British policy from 1880 to 1895', they write: / He feared, on the one hand, to strain relations with the republic too far, lest he provoke Boer anti- imperialism and Anglo-Dutch strife throughout South Africa. On the other hand, he felt bound to limit the republic’s occupation of the interior, in order to protect colonial interests and uphold imperial influence.^ Though stressing the reluctant imperialism of the British Government, they never­ theless accept that containment of the Transvaal became the goal of the Colonial Office once the Boer republic was perceived as a threat to British hegemony. The j purpose of this article is to examine attitudes and policies within the Colonial Office, relations between the Colonial and Foreign Offices, and the part played by the High Commissioners for South Africa in British expansion into the area between the Limpopo and the Zambezi, This throws sane new light on Colonial Office policy and helps to elucidate the question, 'Hew reluctant was Britain's "reluctant imperialism"?' The Colonial Office had first ccneid^vea expansion into the interior in 1878 when the High Cariidssioner, Sir Barbie Frere, preposed the creation of a protectorate as far as Lake N g a m in tire north, and from the Transvaal to the Atlantic.2 However, when the Gladstone Ministry came to power they renounced expansionist ambitions and in 1881 retroceded the Transvaal to the Boers.

  • Zimbabwe: Current Issues
    Order Code RL32723 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Zimbabwe: Current Issues Updated March 11, 2005 Jeffrey Townsend Research Associate Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Raymond W. Copson Specialist in International Relations Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress Zimbabwe: Current Issues Summary Parliamentary elections are scheduled in Zimbabwe for March 31, 2005, and they will be closely watched by supporters of human rights and democracy. The last parliamentary election, in June 2000, was marred by violence against the opposition and other irregularities. According to the Department of State, the presidential election in March 2002 was “preceded and followed by a government-sanctioned campaign of violence directed towards supporters and potential supporters of the opposition.” Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has labeled Zimbabwe an “outpost of tyranny,” and the United States has enforced targeted sanctions against top Zimbabwe officials and associates since 2002. Moreover, the Administration has urged South Africa’s President Thabo Mbeki to lead a regional effort to promote democracy and human rights in Zimbabwe. Should the 2005 voting again prove violent or manifestly unfair, some may advocate stronger measures. Zimbabwe is a land-locked, primarily agricultural southern African country of 12.7 million people, and has been ruled by its current President, Robert Mugabe, since a majority-rule political system was established — following a long civil war - in 1980. Since the late 1990s, the Mugabe government has pursued a controversial land expropriation policy that has contributed to a sharp and continuing economic decline. GDP declined by 30% from 1998 through 2003, and fell another 5.2% in 2004.
