Zimbabwe, News Vol.15 No 2 March 1984 Editorial The recent impositionof a curfew in some parts of Matabeleland will no doubt be construed as a positive and welcome development by those peaceloving people of Matabeleland. In recent months we have witnessed an increase in the spate of banditry in that part of the country. The people have been subjected to all forms of harassment, torture, rape and murder. Most of the victims have been ZANU (PF) members nd -white farmers who make a significant cont ibution to the national granaries. Everybody needs no telling who is behind this. It is super- ZAPU sponsored by the nefarious and illegal regime to the south of us - apartheid ruled South Africa. ZANU (PF), as a self-respecting and responsible party cannot be expected to stand and watch while its supporters are systematically eliminated from Matabeleland. Matabeleland is a part of free and independent Zimbab ve just as Mashonaland, Midlands, Masvingo and Manicaland. If ZAPU supporters can live in peace in any of these (which, incidentally, are ZANU (PF) strongholds) why can our supporters not live in peace in Matabeleland? That is a very important question which ZAPU should seriously address itself to. As members of ZANU (PF) we have a duty and responsibility towards each other's security. That 'is why we emphasise vigilance in all matters concerning the Party. This noble obligation we have towards each other explains our concern to what is happening to our fellow Party comrades in Matabeleland. In the light of this we should, at this point, be asking what should the response Of'the Party be to this super-ZAPU sponsored menace. As a Party, ZANU (PF) has been patient because it is the Government and because it respects the Government and the rule of law. But patience is not an inexhaustible commodity. The time is fast approaching when the mammoth phenomenon that is ZANU (PF) will crush, and crush hard upon superZAPU. ZANU (PF) members, because of their respect and confidence in the government do not wish to take the law into.their own hands. But we are sure many a ZANU (PF member would like the government to devise a means ot conscripting volunteers to help in the campaign to rout out dissidents. Then whoever wishes can, while operating within the rule of law, put his fang into the dissidents. Apology to Readers, Subscribers and Advertisers Due to reasons beyond our control we were unable to publish the February issue of Zimbabwe News. We would like to apologise to all our readers and at the same time assure them that we will maintain our monthly' rhythm. The editorial board also wishes to advise subscribers that their subscriptions will be advanced by a month. This applies to advertisements as well. Readers will note that the series "The Road to Lancaster" is not included in this issue. It will, however, be continued in future issues. Mashonaland West The Buming Issues by the Chairman, Cde. N. Shamuyarira On Sunday October 2nd 1983 the ZANU (PF) Mashonaland Province held its first political seminar which was very well attended by the local district, and provincial leadership of the party. It was opened by the Vice President of ZANU (PF) Comrade Simon Muzenda. He outlined the purposes of the seminar, among them, the need to provide good and sound leadership to all the organs of the party from the cell to the Central Committee. The meeting was also addressed by the National Organising Secretary, Comrade Maurice Nyagumbo, the Secretary for Youth Affairs, Comrade Ernest Kadungure, and the Deputy Secretary for Labour and Manpower Planning, Comrade Robinson Manyika. They outlined the basic principles, programmes, and policies of the party. Their speeches .were most educative to the local leadership of Mashonaland West Province. The speeches have been summarised and published. The m'ain purpose of publishing the document was to make these speeches and comments available to all the members of the party who were not able to be present at the seminar. We hope that the speeches will be studied and discussed at meetings of our members ip each cell, each branch and each district. They are an instrument which we can use to arm our cadres with the necessary political and ideological knowledge and orientation so that they become prepared for, and indeed participate, in the process of social transformation in which both the party and the Government are engaged. The colonial capitalist system that we inherited at the time of independence must gradually and steadily be transformed into a socialist collective system. That is the clear task that has been placed before all our members by the Central Committee and the President of the Party, Comrade Robert Mugabe. We are required to work tirelessly for the successful achievement of this transformation whose practical and tangible results must be manifested among the broad masses of our people. Mashonaland West Province stretches from Kariba to the Mhondoro Communal Area and from Sanyati to Mtorashanga. It covers a very wide geographical area inhabited by 859 000 people. It is one of the most underdeveloped provinces of the state of Zimbabwe, especially in the areas of Urungwe and the Zambezi Valley. Its population comprises commercial and peasant 2 - Vol. farmers, miners, commercial traders and industrialists, workers and fisherman. It produces cotton, maize and tobacco on a major scale as well as coffee and sorghum. The province is therefore a microcosm of Zimbabwe in the variety and diversity of its activities. The Zambezi Valley Tongas One of the major challenges of the party is the social transformation of the Tonga speaking fishermen in the Zambezi Valley. They were movedWrom the River Zambezi when the Lake Kariba was established - and they still require a lot of assistance to acclimatize to a new ecology altogether in the dry and arid mountains in the Zambezi Vailley..Fishing co-operatives are being established to enable them to continue their fish culture as well as to compete effectively with the 36-odd companies that have fishing rights on Lake Kariba. Fishing is now a sophisticated industry on the lake shore. During the colonial period the Tonga villagers were not allowed to catch the fish which were their staple diet and were discriminated against in many ways by the system. A lot of political, administrative and ideological work has got to be done to bring the Tongas into the mordern society of Zimbabwe as full participants and beneficiaries, in the new socio-economic and political order. On the agricultural side tractors have been provided for tilling the land and we hope that production of suitable crops will expand and alleviate the hardships of drought among the Zambezi Valley Tongas. The problem of wild animals and tsetse fly control are being tackled vigorously by the responsible Ministries. Resettlement - a slow start The resettlement exercise has been fairly successful, especially in the Karoi area at Nyamakuti, Kasemure, and Masikati Ranches. A number of people who had moved from the crowded Urungwe Communal Area were finally allowed to resettie in these areas. However the pace of the exercise has been slow and it should be speeded up in order to cope with the inreasing number of persons who want to be resettled; and to establish a pattern of orderly settlement in certain farms that have been vacant for a long time. Unfortunately, some vandalism has occured on some of these properties. The overcrowding which was prevalent at the time of independence in the communal areas of Mhondoro, Zwimba, Chirau, and Sanyati, has not been alleviated. In some instances, the bad situation has been worsened by the entry into the communal areas of large numbers of labourers displaced or evicted from neighbouring commercial farms. Commercial farmers fearing that labourers or tenants settled on their farms may be given certain rights by the Government, Comrade Shamuyarira - Chairman - Mashonaland West have resorted to wholesale evictions, and even destruction of farm villages in order to force the labourers to return to the communal areas. The result is that some communal areas are now bursting at the seams with an ever growing population. Clearly land hunger and the related problem of efficient land utilisation remains the biggest problem facing our Government and our party. All the organs of our party have to work very hard to assist the Ministry of Lands, Resettlement and Rural Development in the momentous task that it is undertaking.

  • Political Violence Report November 2001
    ZIMBABWE HUMAN RIGHTS NGO FORUM POLITICAL VIOLENCE REPORT NOVEMBER 2001 December 2001 A report by the Zimbabwe Human Rights NGO Forum Summary Attacks on farm workers residing on invaded farms, ongoing since the end of February 2000, were reported to the Human Rights Forum in November. Since January this year, more than 70 000 farm workers have been displaced and countless others have been beaten and tortured whilst others lost their homes in arson attacks. Once again the ZRP was been found wanting in its protection and reaction to violations concerning farm workers and MDC supporters. In one recorded case, policemen in Kadoma arrived at the local Zanu-PF offices and witnessed the torture of two MDC members but left without rendering assistance. However 14 MDC members were arrested for the murder of Bulawayo war veteran’s chairman, Cain Nkala. In Harare members of the ZRP unlawfully arrested and tortured two MDC officials from Zengeza, accusing them of having had some involvement in Cain Nkala’s murder, despite their being in Harare at the time. The two were released without being charged having been interrogated about the operations of their party. Six deaths were recorded in November. A list of all deaths that have been reported since January 2001 is given at the end of the report.

    Appendix A For Restricted Circulation For The Eyes of the Shona Elite Only, Please Pass To Most Trusted Person! Progress Review on the 1979 Grand Plan (Unedited) Gift Never before has history given us the majority Shona people, such a precious present than it has done with Robert Gabriel Mugabe. R.G. is simply a perfect embodiment of all our cultural norms and values, our aspirations and expectations, our wants, desires and interests. In his whole life R G has not failed to demonstrate that incredible consciousness of who we are as people. The most vivid imagination of what an ideal Shona person should look like in appearance as well as how he should behave or present himself to the public, finds an exact match in R.G. His presence among us as a leader with and an abundant and compelling inspiration towards the establishment of Shona Nationhood deserves to be honoured and celebrated as a memorable great occasion in the life histories of all the generations of our people. Acknowledgement We do not as a matter of obligation, fail to appreciate and acknowledge wonderful achievements, the great valour and the spirit of stubborn resistance against for- midable adversaries of all those other great Shona men and women who led our people before. However, without prejudicing fair comparison, it is inarguable though that R.G. stands out distinctly as a cut above the rest among both the dead and the living Shona leaders. © Springer International Publishing AG 2018 219 D.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. 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.
