Foreword Marcel Proust, A la Recherche du temps perdu 05 Executive Summary Present day Zimbabwe remains trapped in a development impasse which judging by this Report by Transparency International Zimbabwe and other research publications is highly attributable to the growing The 2015 Zimbabwe Annual State of Corruption Report (ASCR) set out to understand “the cost of problem of corruption than any other variable. Clearly corruption in Zimbabwe is a topical developmental, corruption on the economy, politics and social service delivery in Zimbabwe 2000-2015”. The underlying political and economic governance issue because of its interrelatedness and inter-linkages with key challenges approach assumes that a presentation of empirical evidence on corruption can lead to increased that the country continues to face. The challenges that include unemployment, poverty, poor social service awareness of its dimensions, and that would, in turn, lead to change of behaviour by individuals – to delivery, capital flight, de-industrialization and low investment

  • Zimbabwe's White Writing, 1980 to 2011
    ‘SHOULD I STAY OR SHOULD I GO?’ ZIMBABWE’S WHITE WRITING, 1980 TO 2011 by CUTHBETH TAGWIREI Dissertation presented for the degree of Doctor of English Studies in the Faculty of English at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Prof. Leon de Kock December 2014 Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. December 2014 Copyright © 2014 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved i Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract This thesis finds its epistemological basis in two related motives: the re-conceptualisation of white writing in Zimbabwe as a sub-category of Zimbabwean literature, and the recognition of white narratives as necessarily dialogic. The first motive follows the realization that writing by Zimbabwean whites is systematically marginalized from “mainstream” Zimbabwean literature owing to its perceived irrelevance to the postcolonial Zimbabwean nation. Through an application of Even-Zohar’s polysystem theory, this thesis argues for a recognition of white writing as a literary sub-system existing in relation to other literary and non-literary systems in Zimbabwe’s polysystem of culture. As its second motive, the thesis also calls for a critical approach to white Zimbabwean narratives built on the understanding that the study of literature can no longer be left to monologic approaches alone.

  • 1 Interviewing David Mungoshi on His New Book 'The Fading Sun'
    Interviewing David Mungoshi on his new book ‘The Fading Sun’ which won Zimbabwe's National Arts Merit Award (NAMA) 2010 in the Outstanding Fiction category. Mungoshi is also a lecturer in the university of Zimbabwe’s Linguistics department. This interview was conducted by Memory Chirere on his blog KWACHIRERE found on http://memorychirere.blogspot.com/ kwaChirere: Congratulations, David, for winning the NAMA. David Mungoshi: I never thought I'd hear those words from anyone! The award has made a lot of people other than myself very happy: my wife Elizabeth and the children and everyone in the Mungoshi clan. My younger brother in Canada has just ordered a copy for himself with amazon.com. Man, I am very happy. kwaChirere: You have not published a major work since your ‘Stains On The wall’ in 1992. Reasons? DM: That’s a difficult to answer. I never stopped writing. kwaChirere: Mary, the central character in ‘The Fading Sun’ has cancer and other various maladies. What inspired this story? What did you want to get at? DM: I have always been gender-inspired. I remember writing a pretentious little story many years ago in which I was examining the question of Lobola. Pretentious because I was still just early into my teens and obviously quite green in such matters. Anyway I called the story,’ She’s a Commodity.’ I don’t remember what happened to it.It’s a story of how a woman rises higher than her husband in the party of liberation and how the husband can’t handle that and starts getting physical.

  • An Analysis of the Gutsaruzhinji Polity in Zimbabwe
    AN ANALYSIS OF THE GUTSARUZHINJI POLITY IN ZIMBABWE BY KUDAKWASHE BHASIKITI SUPERVISOR: PROFESSOR BERNARD MATOLINO Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Philosophy in the School of Philosophy and Ethics. UNIVERSITY OF KWAZULU-NATAL PIETERMARITZBURG CAMPUS 2017 DECLARATION ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The constant guidance by my supervisor Professor Bernard Matolino is heartly acknowledged. My typist Antony Chiweshe and two gentlemen who took their precious time to edit my work, Dr. Douglas McClymont and Dr. David Mungoshi are gratefully acknowledged. May I also thank the UKZN Administration for the material, financial and moral support they provided as I carried out this study. iii DEDICATION This work is dedicated to all the suffering masses of Zimbabwe and Africa in general. May all the Bhasikiti and Murove Chieftainship Family be encouraged to serve their community and nation well. iv ABSTRACT The absence of a sound and robust African political ideology grounded in Africa‘s traditional and cultural philosophy of hunhu/ubuntu has led to Africa‘s continued subjugation and domination by both Western and Eastern bloc nations. Africa has been compelled to choose between capitalism or socialism which are both foreign ideologies. The author strongly contests the above view and provides an alternative ideology which is in all respects African and grounded in Africa‘s richest philosophy of hunhu/ubuntu. Gutsaruzhinji, both as a philosophy and political ideology is entrenched in traditional African cultural ideals rooted in the hunhu/ubuntu philosophy. It is the author‘s contention that gutsaruzhinji is an aunthentic African philosophy, tested in Zimbabwean politics, deserves to be assigned both regional and international status.
