RHODESIA THOMAS MEIKLE, 1862-1939 The founder of the Meikle Organisation sailed from Scotland with his parents in 1869. The family settled in Natal where Thomas and his brothers John and Stewart gained their first farming ex­ perience. In 1892 the three brothers set off for Rhodesia with eight ox- wagons. Three months later they had completed the 700 mile trek to Fort Victoria. Here they opened a store made of whisky cases and roofed over with the tarpaulins that had covered their wagons. Progress was at first slow, nevertheless, branches were opened in Salisbury in 1893, Bulawayo and Gwelo in 1894, and in Umtali in 1897. From these small beginnings a vast network of stores, hotels, farms, mines and auxilliary undertakings was built up. These ventures culminated in the formation of the Thomas Meikle Trust and Investment Company in 1933. The success of these many enterprises was mainly due to Thomas Meikle's foresight and his business acumen, coupled with his ability to judge character and gather around him a loyal and efficient staff. His great pioneering spirit lives on: today the Meikle Organisation is still playing an important part in the development of Rhodesia. THOMAS MEIKLE TRUST AND INVESTMENT CO. (PVT.) LIMITED.

THE FOUNDERS xi 1953 - - - 1974 THIS ISSUE COMMEMORATES THE 21st A'.'INl\'ERSARY OF THE RHQD. ESIA!'iA SOCIETY WITH A'\' ARTICLE ON ITS HISTORY. xii The History of The Rhodesiana Society from June 2nd 1953 to June 2nd 1974 by G. H. Tanser Chairman of the National Executive Committee of the Rhodesiana Society. During the years 1949 to 1952 two men, Mr. Harry Archie Cripwell and Mr. Brendon Lloyd, living in Fort Victoria, found they shared a common interest in books on Rhodesian and South African history. The following year they were transferred to Salisbury where discussions on their interests were renewed. The possibility of founding a society on the lines of the Van Riebeeck Society was mooted and it was decided to obtain a copy of that Society's constitution for study. In May 1953, Mr. Cripwell and Mr. Lloyd decided to take action. They sent out notes to those who they knew were interested in Rhodesian books, inviting them to a meeting in the Presbyterian Church Hall. The notice indi­ cated that the meeting was being held to discuss the collection and preservation of Rhodesiana, and ended "Please come and bring a friend if you should know of anyone else interested." As the invitations were delivered by a Native Department messenger (Mr. Cripwell was the Provincial Native Commissioner of Mashonaland) they were not spread over a very wide area. However, one was delivered to Mrs. Rhoda Ellis of the Education Department who took along with her to the meeting a friend, Mr. G. H. Tanser, also of the Education Department. Both were interested in books on Rhodesian history. So Mr. Cripwell, Mrs. Ellis, Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd, and Mr. Tanser together with Father Hannan and Mr. Jan van Heerden were present at the meeting which decided to hold a meeting to establish a society at a venue to be found. The venue was provided by Mr. Tanser who gave permission for the meeting to be held in the small Audio-Visual Theatre of the Ministry of Educa­ tion, on June 2nd 1953. A small advertisement was placed in the "Rhodesia Herald". At the meeting Father Hannan took the chair.

No final solutions have been reached to any of these problems; but our news- papers and newscasts have been filled with the infiltration of terrorists, counter-terrorist action, support respectively for terrorists from Zambia and for counter-terrorists from South Africa, the succession of British ministers and ex-ministers visiting Salisbury, visits by Mr Smith to South Africa, and possible visits by Mr Smith to Britain, the U.S.A. and the U.N. , calls for economic, political and military action, and what have you.

Initially a community lobby and advocacy group on human rights issues encompassing HIV and AIDS issues, livelihoods and governance issues was founded within the Godlwayo (Filabusi) community (Matabeleland South, Zimbabwe). The need to improve schools pass rate within Filabusi area greatly informed the formation of this initiative as the community well wishers started making financial donations towards paying school fees for disadvantaged but ably performing school kids and this gave birth to a program called Godlwayo Education scholarship Program (GESP). Also the community identified gaps in information dissemination since there is a media blackout in the area so the idea of a community radio initiative was then muted and supported and this gave birth to a community radio initiative by name Godlwayofm specifically for information dissemination currently using bulk sms facility to share community news. After a year of operating in Godlwayo (Filabusi) it has been noted that the services of the organization are needed in other district and surrounding areas and since this means growth and expansion, the need to register as a formal organization was then realized.

  • 1 the African Dimension to the Anti-Federation Struggle, C.1950-53
    ‘It has united us far more closely than any other question would have accomplished’.1 The African Dimension to the Anti-Federation Struggle, c.1950-53 The documentary record of African opposition to the C[entral] A[frican] F[ederation] has been the subject renewed historiographical interest in recent years.2 This paper seeks to contribute to the existing debate in three principle ways. Firstly, it will be shown that opposition to the scheme was fatally undermined by the pursuit of two very distinct strands of N[yasaland] A[frican] C[ongress] and A[frican] N[ational] C[ongress] political activism. This dissimilar political discourse produced contradictions that resulted in the bypassing African objections. In the third instance, the paper will go a step further, suggesting that the two respective anti-Federation campaigns not only undermined Congress efforts to stop federation, but laid the path for future discord in the national dispensation then materialising. In 1988, John Darwin wrote that ‘with its telescope clapped firmly to its ear, London declared that [African] opposition [to Federation] could be neither seen nor heard’.3 The well-worn historiographical path points to the fact that African opposition was effectively ignored on the basis that ‘partnership’ between white settlers and black Africans in Northern and Southern Rhodesia and Nyasaland offered a strong rationale for the CAF. The requisite benefits arising would see the promotion of African economic opportunities, the placation of settler politicians seeking to reduce the influence of the Colonial Office and the preservation of British influence in the region.4 The utility of ‘partnership’ was in its ambiguity.

  • Central African Examiner, 1957-19651
    The African e-Journals Project has digitized full text of articles of eleven social science and humanities journals. This item is from the digital archive maintained by Michigan State University Library. Find more at: http://digital.lib.msu.edu/projects/africanjournals/ Available through a partnership with Scroll down to read the article. Zambezia (1996), XXIII (ii). THE CENTRAL AFRICAN EXAMINER, 1957-19651 ANTHONY KING2 St Antony's College, Oxford, UK Abstract The Central African Examiner is a well known source for the study of Zimbabwean history in the seminal period 1957-1965, although the story of its foundation and the backroom manoeuvrings which dogged its short life are relatively unknown. Its inception was the result of industry attempting to push the Federal Government into implementing partnership in a practical way. Up to 1960, the Examiner's internal politics mirrored this conflict, and it was during this time that the Examiner's position as a critical supporter of Government policy was at its most ambiguous. After 1960, the Examiner became a more forthright Government critic — indeed by 1964, it was the only medium left for the expression of nationalist opinion. INTRODUCTION IN THE WAKE of the Unilateral Declaration of Independence (UDI) in Rhodesia on 11 November 1965, censorship was imposed on the press. Most newspapers and magazines appeared with a number of blank spaces which would have been filled with articles had they not fallen foul of the censors. One magazine had so much of its content for the December 1965 issue banned that it resorted to making it a 'Do-It-Yourself edition, urging readers to fill in the blanks themselves.

  • National Identity and Post-Colonial Development: Dictatorial Zimbabwe and Democratic Republic of South Africa Master's Thesis
    National Identity and Post-Colonial Development: Dictatorial Zimbabwe and Democratic Republic of South Africa Master’s Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Department of Global Studies Chandler Rosenberger, Advisor Jasmine Waddell, Advisor Richard Parmentier, Chairman In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Master’s Degree By Andrea Cohen August, 2011 Copyright by Andrea Cohen © 2011 Dedication I would like to dedicate this piece of work to my parents, Fran and Les Cohen. Their hard work and endless support has allowed me to take up any opportunity that comes my way, including my desire to earn a Master’s degree. My Dad has shown me through example the importance of a strong work ethic. His quotes comparing hard work to sports always hang above my desk. Both my parent’s high regard for the needs of others has in part inspired me with a passion to better the lives of those who live in poverty, fear and oppression. I am eternally grateful for their enduring love, guidance, support. Acknowledgements I would like to thank my graduate advisers for their role in my education and for their guidance and support throughout the process. Professors Jasmine Waddell and Chandler Rosenberger’s intellect always inspired me to keep learning, think harder, and dig deeper. I cannot possibly thank Professor Waddell enough for her enduring support throughout the writing process. Each conversation with her left me feeling renewed, validated, and ready to tackle the challenge ahead. Professor Rosenberger always pushed me to achieve the perfection he knew I was capable of, and for that I am thankful to him.
