  • Fhatuwani Thesis
    CHAPTER 1 1.1 AIM, PURPOSE AND JUSTIFICATION OF THE STUDY This thesis attempts to reconstruct the manner and the effects of the forced removal of the Ravele community, from their historical homes in old Mauluma1 along the Luvuvhu River Valley. Luvuvhu is the name given to a river that dominates the area under discussion. The name Luvuvhu’ is retained until, it enters Kruger National Park, where the Vatsongas call it Phafuri - as the river flows through Chief Mphaphuli’s territory. After relocation, the whole area under discussion is now known as Levubu. Levubu is corruption of the word Luvuvhu by the local white farming community. Old Mauluma in the Luvuvhu valley was situated on the North Eastern part of Louis Trichardt. More or less 3000 Ravele community members were forcibly removed from their land, between 1920 and 1940 to new Mauluma or Beaconsfields.2 The removal constituted a severe crisis for the members of the community as they were taken from a rich ecological area and resettled 100 kilometres west of old Mauluma, a dry and rocky area. A study of the Ravele community’s removal from old Mauluma (Levubu area) is especially pertinent at this juncture because of the campaign by the previous owners to reclaim their land. Since the April 1994 election and the promise by the government that dispossessed people could reclaim their land, hundreds of the former Levubu residents (including Ravele community) have demanded compensation or return to their land. Not surprisingly, the campaign has the support of all those who were removed, but is viewed with suspicion by white farmers in Levubu and surrounding areas.

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.

  • Margaret Philpott December 2017
    Margaret Philpott December 2017 SAHO Biography Name: Tshifhiwa Muofhe Date of Birth: 1954 Date of Death: 12 November 1981 In summary: Tshifhiwa Muofhe was a community leader and Lutheran priest in Venda. Police arrested him in 1981 in connection to a bombing at Sibasa Police Station. He died while in detention. The Death of Tshifhiwa Muofhe After years of struggle and no success from a non-violent approach to the oppressive government, the African National Congress (ANC) launched an armed wing by the name of Umkhonto we Sizwe, or MK.1 The apartheid state suspected MK of several bombings against political authorities in the apartheid Bantustans, which spread fear and panic in the Venda Bantustan and increased the unjust tactics used by the government. In a hearing for an ANC submission to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in 1997, it stated that there were at least 40 ANC guerilla attacks in inner-city areas between January and October of 1981, which was the year Tshifhiwa Muofhe was arrested and killed.2 In October of 1981, an MK operation bombed a Sibasa Police Station in Venda and killed several police officers.3 Authorities concluded that the attack was orchestrated inside the Bantustan and not directly by MK operatives themselves. This led to the suspicion and arrest of four church and community leaders that all had strong 1 “uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) in Exile” from South African History Online. 2 ANC. “Further Submissions and Responses by the African National Congress to Questions Raised by the Commission for Truth and Reconciliation,” May 12, 1997, appx.

  • Conflicting Perceptions Over Water Distribution in Sibasa- Thohoyandou Area: Interpreting Local Narratives
    Conflicting perceptions over water distribution Conflicting perceptions over water distribution in Sibasa- Thohoyandou area: interpreting local narratives Rabson Wuriga School of Basic Sciences North-West University Abstract The state perceives water as an economic commodity, even if its existing policy treats it as a national resource that should be freely accessed for basic usage. Research suggests many residents of the Sibasa-Thohoyandou area in the Limpopo Province, perceive water as a free natural resource that should not be paid for. As a result of this perception, most of the local residents are not paying for water services. In response to that, the municipality is faced with a cost-recovery problem – hence they restrict water reticulation. Residents concede that paying is a last resort because they are in need of water. Research was conducted on this issue after it surfaced as an apparent problem in the local media. The article explores and attempts to interpret the conflicting narratives on water procurement and distribution in the Sibasa-Thohoyandou area. Introduction Water supplies are not adequate for all residents of Sibasa-Thohoyandou area. There is a conflict of perceptions on water procurement and distribution between the state1 and the residents of Sibasa-Thohoyandou, especially with the current introduction of the idea of free basic water. Recent narratives of the state send a message that the shortage of water in Sibasa-Thohoyandou, to borrow Sithole et al‘s expression, is that “the government acts in the interest” of the residents by restricting water distribution. On the contrary, the residents’ reaction and perception of the ‘free basic water’ idea send a message that there is a totally different way of seeing things between the state and them – hence there is shortage of water.
