  • 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).

  • Nyasa Clandestine Migration Through Southern Rhodesia Into the Union of South Africa: 1920S – 1950S
    Settling in Motion: Nyasa Clandestine Migration through Southern Rhodesia into the Union of South Africa: 1920s – 1950s Anusa Daimon Centre for Africa Studies University of the Free State Bloemfontein, South Africa Abstract Illegal African migration into South Africa is not uniquely a post-apartheid phenomenon. It has its antecedents in the colonial/apartheid period. The South Africa colonial economy relied heavily on cheap African labour from both within and outside the Union. Most foreign migrant labourers came from the then Nyasaland (Malawi) and Portuguese East Africa (Mozambique) through official channels of the Witwatersrand Native Labour Association (WNLA). WNLA was active throughout the Southern Africa and competed for the same labour resource with other regional supranational ‘native’ labour recruitment agencies, providing various incentives to lure and transport potential employees to its bustling South African gold and diamond mining industry. However, not all migrant labourers found their way through formal WNLA channels. Using archival material from repositories in Harare (Zimbabwe), Zomba (Malawi), Grahamstown (South Africa), London and Oxford (UK), the article casts light on illicit migration mainly by Malawian labourers (Nyasas) through Southern Rhodesia into South Africa between the 1920s and 1950s. It argues that many transient Nyasas subverted the inhibitive WNLA contractual obligations by clandestinely migrating independently into the Union. They also exploited the labour recruitment infrastructure used by the state and labour bureaus to swiftly move across Southern Rhodesia. In essence, Nyasas settled in motion, using Southern Rhodesia as a stepping-stone or springboard en-route to the more lucrative Union of South Africa. An appreciation of such informal migration opens up space for creating a more comprehensive historiography of labour migration in Southern Africa.

  • Determinants of Exclusive Breastfeeding Among Mothers of Infants Aged 6 to 12 Months in Gwanda District, Zimbabwe Paddington T
    Mundagowa et al. International Breastfeeding Journal (2019) 14:30 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13006-019-0225-x RESEARCH Open Access Determinants of exclusive breastfeeding among mothers of infants aged 6 to 12 months in Gwanda District, Zimbabwe Paddington T. Mundagowa1*, Elizabeth M. Chadambuka1, Pugie T. Chimberengwa2 and Fadzai Mukora-Mutseyekwa3 Abstract Background: In 2016, 98% of children in Zimbabwe received breastmilk, however only 40% of babies under six months were exclusively breastfed 24 h prior to data collection. A 2014 survey revealed that Matabeleland South Province had the country’s highest starvation rates and food insecurities were rife. This study aimed at investigating maternal, infant, household, environmental and cultural factors influencing exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) practice in Gwanda District. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from January to March 2018. Interviews used pretested structured questionnaires for 225 mothers of infants aged between six and twelve months at immunization outreach points and health facilities. Descriptive statistics, bivariate and multivariate analysis estimated the association between the dependent and independent variables. Exclusive breastfeeding was defined as feeding an infant on breast milk only from birth up to the age of six months. Results: The majority of mothers (n = 193; 89%) had knowledge about EBF and 189 (84%) expressed a positive attitude towards the practice, however, only 81 (36%) practiced exclusive breastfeeding. The most common complementary food/fluid given to the infants was plain water (n = 85; 59%). Predictors for EBF were: maternal Human Immuno-deficiency Virus positive status (Odds Ratio [OR] 0.30; 95% Confidence Interval [CI] 0.17, 0.56) and being economically independent (OR 0.41; 95% CI 0.21, 0.79).

  • University of Pretoria Etd – Nsingo, SAM (2005)
    University of Pretoria etd – Nsingo, S A M (2005) - 181 - CHAPTER FOUR THE PROFILE, STRUCTURE AND OPERATIONS OF THE BEITBRIDGE RURAL DISTRICT COUNCIL INTRODUCTION This chapter describes the basic features of the Beitbridge District. It looks at the organisation of the Beitbridge Rural District Council and explores its operations as provided in the Rural District Councils Act of 1988 and the by-laws of council. The chapter then looks at performance measurement in the public sector and local government, in particular. This is followed by a discussion of democratic participation, service provision and managerial excellence including highlights of their relevance to this study. BEITBRIDGE DISTRICT PROFILE The Beitbridge District is located in the most southern part of Zimbabwe. It is one of the six districts of Matebeleland South province. It shares borders with Botswana in the west, South Africa in the south, Mwenezi District from the north to the east, and Gwanda District in the northwest. Its geographical area is a result of amalgamating the Beitbridge District Council and part of the Mwenezi- Beitbridge Rural District Council. The other part of the latter was amalgamated with the Mwenezi District to form what is now the Mwenezi District Council. Significant to note, from the onset, is that Beitbridge District is one of the least developed districts in Zimbabwe. Worse still, it is located in region five (5), which is characterized by poor rainfall and very hot conditions. As such, it is not suitable for crop farming, although this takes place through irrigation schemes. University of Pretoria etd – Nsingo, S A M (2005) - 182 - The district is made up of an undulating landscape with shrubs, isolated hills and four big rivers.

  • The Geology of the Country East of Beitbridge
    ZIMBABWE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY BULLETIN NO. 87 The Geology of the Country East of Beitbridge by MPR LIGHT & TJ. BRODERICK ISSUED BY AUTHORITY HARARE 1998 PREFACE Bulletin No. 87 and accompanying 1: I 00000 scale map describes the geology of an area about 1765 km2 in Beitbridge District. The area is bounded by longitudes 300 00' E to 300 30' E, and latitude 220 00' S, the southern boundary being the Limpopo River. M.P.R. Light carried out the geological mapping between 1973 and 1975, and the map was published in 1981. Publication of the Bulletin text, rc-written by TJ. Broderick, was delayed by lack of funds. This publication has bcen madc possible, courtesy of funds provided by Centrum fuer Internationale Migration unci Entwicklung (CIM) of Frankfurt, Germany. The area first described by Carl Mauch in 187 I comprises complexly deformed gneisses and granulites of the Central Zone of the Limpopo Mobile Belt. Rare exposures of enderbites and dioritic gneisses form a basement to the Beitbridge Group deposited as various sediments, limestones and volcanic rocks, but now intensely cleformed and metamorphosed to clifferent gneisses and granulites. Karoo sediments lying uneonfonnably on the Beitbridge Group, are preserved in grabens. The whole area is intensely fractured. Most fractures are radial to post­ Karoo volcanic centres, and are filled by dykes of various rock types. Patt 11 of the Bulletin describes the cconomic geology of the area. Bcitbridge West has been subject to numerous Exclusive Prospecting Orders concerned mainly with exploration for base metals, Messina-type copper mineralization in particular. Though few claims were pegged, there has not been any mining of base metals from the area.

  • Socio-Environmental Damage, a Looming Facet of Illegal Gold Panning: a Case Study of the Illegal Gold Panners of Gwanda District, Zimbabwe
    Socio-Environmental damage, a looming facet of illegal gold panning: a case study of the illegal gold panners of Gwanda District, Zimbabwe Mr Dumile Bhebhe University of the Free Sate Mr Andries Jordaan Director: DiMTEC Disaster Risk Management Training and Education Centre for Africa, University of the Free State, South Africa E-mail:[email protected] Miss Olivia Kunguma Junior Lecturer Disaster Risk Management Training and Education Centre for Africa, University of the Free State E-mail: [email protected] 1 Abstract Illegal gold panning is alleged to generate serious health hazards associated with lack of proper hygiene standards. Gold panning also has negative socio – environmental effects on the land, the ecosystem and on other aspects of human life, like the spread of infectious diseases and HIV/AIDS. The research methods applied was qualitative and quantitative. Face-to-face interviews, questionnaires and observations managed to provide an in built triangulation for the study. Purposive sampling techniques were used and a total sample of 94 respondents was drawn from gold panners, non-panners and relevant stakeholders. The stakeholders comprised local government officials, Environmental Management Authorities and officials from local mining organisations while non-panners included those people living with panners along the river banks and neighbouring communal settlers. The study established that gold panning activities, which are poverty driven, have immensely contributed to environmental damages such as deforestation, river siltation, soil erosion,water pollution and the destruction of aquatic based food chains as a result of disposing waste materials and the use of chemicals such as mercury and cyanide.

  • Micro-Spatial Distribution of Malaria Cases and Control Strategies at Ward Level in Gwanda District, Matabeleland South, Zimbabw
    Manyangadze et al. Malar J (2017) 16:476 DOI 10.1186/s12936-017-2116-1 Malaria Journal RESEARCH Open Access Micro‑spatial distribution of malaria cases and control strategies at ward level in Gwanda district, Matabeleland South, Zimbabwe Tawanda Manyangadze1,2*, Moses J. Chimbari1, Margaret Macherera1,3 and Samson Mukaratirwa4 Abstract Background: Although there has been a decline in the number of malaria cases in Zimbabwe since 2010, the dis- ease remains the biggest public health threat in the country. Gwanda district, located in Matabeleland South Province of Zimbabwe has progressed to the malaria pre-elimination phase. The aim of this study was to determine the spatial distribution of malaria incidence at ward level for improving the planning and implementation of malaria elimination in the district. Methods: The Poisson purely spatial model was used to detect malaria clusters and their properties, including rela- tive risk and signifcance levels at ward level. The geographically weighted Poisson regression (GWPR) model was used to explore the potential role and signifcance of environmental variables [rainfall, minimum and maximum tempera- ture, altitude, Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI), Normalized Diference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Normalized Difer- ence Water Index (NDWI), rural/urban] and malaria control strategies [indoor residual spraying (IRS) and long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLINs)] on the spatial patterns of malaria incidence at ward level. Results: Two signifcant clusters (p < 0.05) of malaria cases were identifed: (1) ward 24 south of Gwanda district and (2) ward 9 in the urban municipality, with relative risks of 5.583 and 4.316, respectively. The semiparametric-GWPR model with both local and global variables had higher performance based on AICc (70.882) compared to global regression (74.390) and GWPR which assumed that all variables varied locally (73.364).
