Environmental impact assessment (EIA) constitutes an essential tool for integrating environmental and economic considerations in the planning process. Realising this, the Government of Zimbabwe recently adopted an EIA policy. However, the policy is not yet law and so it is unlikely to have an impact in its present form since no legal compulsion exists for developers and project proponents to follow its mandate. There is an urgent need for a statutory basis to be created for the EIA policy if...
Show moreEnvironmental impact assessment (EIA) constitutes an essential tool for integrating environmental and economic considerations in the planning process. Realising this, the Government of Zimbabwe recently adopted an EIA policy. However, the policy is not yet law and so it is unlikely to have an impact in its present form since no legal compulsion exists for developers and project proponents to follow its mandate. There is an urgent need for a statutory basis to be created for the EIA policy if it is to achieve sustainable management of resources. The article notes that while foreign methodologies are relevant in the search for an appropriate legislative model, they have to be domesticated to suit local environmental problems and priorities.

Zimbabwe is on the brink of a major crisis. The university can play a crucial role in averting or at least remodifying it. The very long-term perspective of precolonial history offers a view of the situation that involves every faculty and department in the university. Consequently, this lecture will take a rather different form from the usual. The first part summarizes a recent book that is itself a partial summary of my entire career's research. The second shows how the precolonial...
Show moreZimbabwe is on the brink of a major crisis. The university can play a crucial role in averting or at least remodifying it. The very long-term perspective of precolonial history offers a view of the situation that involves every faculty and department in the university. Consequently, this lecture will take a rather different form from the usual. The first part summarizes a recent book that is itself a partial summary of my entire career's research. The second shows how the precolonial perspective highlights the coming crisis in Zimbabwe, that threatens every aspect of society. The third examines the university as an entity that ought to be able to play a major role in averting this crisis, and then goes on to show how it has itself taken a wrong course that makes such a role impossible, unless major changes occur on the campus.

Scholars of Zimbabwean history have argued that organised African labour was subordinated to petit bourgeois nationalism. This article refutes these assessments and argues that, in the period between the formation of the first mass nationalist organisation and the adoption of the armed struggle, organised labour and nationalism were intimately connected, a fact that reflected in part the structural position of the African workers in a colonial society. This relationship was, however,...

This relationship was, however, disrupted by the adoption of armed struggle by the nationalists in 1963.

This study of the news content of the Zambia Broadcasting Corporation (ZBC) proceeds from the assumption that 'a national broadcasting system reflects the milieu in which it operates, thus taking on the colour of the social, political, economic and cultural climate' of its locale. Thus, hypothesizing that in Zambia, the broadcasting system would fulfil the objectives set by the ruling party and the government, namely, building a humanist nation, liberation of Africa, promotion of world peace...
Show moreThis study of the news content of the Zambia Broadcasting Corporation (ZBC) proceeds from the assumption that 'a national broadcasting system reflects the milieu in which it operates, thus taking on the colour of the social, political, economic and cultural climate' of its locale. Thus, hypothesizing that in Zambia, the broadcasting system would fulfil the objectives set by the ruling party and the government, namely, building a humanist nation, liberation of Africa, promotion of world peace and justice, and adherence to the policy of non-alignment, the study confirms that, indeed, the ZBC fulfils these objectives in its world news coverage. However, it identifies such structural constraints as news sourcing, lack of funds and transport, and lack of professional skills among ZBC newsroom staff as the major factors inhibiting quality performance.
