EDITORIALAs I take over the responsibilities of Editor of Zambezia, I wish tothank Professor J. N. Moyo who kept the journal going in the absenceof a substantive editor. He had already collected much of the materialand had done much of the preliminary work in producing this issue.Zambezia retains its focus on social and human issues in Zimbabweand in the surrounding region. The journal accepts contributions froma variety of disciplines and will continue to publish articles, researchreports and reviews within this geographical focus.In future, short comments and correspondence will be consideredfor publication. I shall particularly welcome debate arising from articlespublished in the journal.M. F. C. Bourdillon
