ICME papers 2002 By Simon Makuvaza Natural History Museum, Bulawayo, Zimbabwe sammaku@yahoo.co.uk Paper presented at the conference High Expectations, but Low Funding: How do poor museums meet their targets?. Lusaka and Livingstone, Zambia July 28 - August 2, 2002. ABSTRACT Introduction Museums in Africa and in Zimbabwe in particular share a common heritage in their history as national institutions. They are by products of the colonial era and essentially 20 th Socio-historical factors: the concept and development of theme parks in Zimbabwe The origin of museums in Africa in general and in Zimbabwe in particular was a western concept as seen from the obsession in seeking to conserve material culture at the detriment of the intangible heritage. Museums in many African states are therefore late 19 th and 20 th The local people were not consulted for their interests since it was by then necessary to sideline them for museums were not meant to serve them. The confiscated objects were stripped of their value and were displayed in places were they could not be accessed by their creators (Konare 1983). For example, the traditional colonial type of museums in Zimbabwe, South Africa and Zambia are situated in urban areas, which are not within the reach by the bulk of rural dwellers. This isolates the majority of the indigenous people from enjoying their culture. Many of the displays during and after colonialism, in many museums in Africa have by and large remained eurocentric in nature with a strong concentration on white settler material culture. Displays in cultural history museums in South Africa for example, were dominated by the white settler colonial history especially those associated with Afrikaner nationalist ideology and history (Dominy 2000). Pwiti (1997) notes that postcolonial Zimbabwean museums still remain colonial and target foreign tourists. As recently as 1994, for example, the Harare Museum of Human Sciences still had poor ethnographic collections, unsystematic and incomplete cataloguing while the Mutare Museum had ethnographic displays that had not been altered since 1962 (Ucko 1994).

INFORMATION Sacred Sound Tools photograph by Mitch Nur In the West we know this instrument as a thumb piano or kalimba, but in its native country of Africa it as called mbira, sansa, likembe, malimba, neikembe, or ikembe. It is both a sacred and secular instrument to the Shona, Bantu, Meru, Gogo, and Soga cultures. Used to contact ancestors and tribal guardians, chase away harmful spirits, weather control, cure illness, and impart a strong life force. During the colonial period in Africa the missionaries taught that the mbira was evil and discouraged the use of the instrument, but since independence it has regained its important cultural role to the indigenous peoples of Africa. The Mbira is musically classified in the 'plucked idiophone' group of musical instruments. It has one or more rows of metal keys or tongs mounted on a wood soundboard which is mounted on a dried gourd which acts as a resonator. It is easy to play by gently striking the ends of the keys with the thumbs. To learn more about the Mbira To find an Mbira

People Profile The Tswa People Religion: Christianity, Traditional Animism Population: 1,060,000 (1996 estimate) Status: 50% Professed Christianity; 20-25% Evangelical Location: The greatest concentration of Tswa people is in the southern Mozambiquan province of Inhambane. Smaller concentrations live in portions of the provinces of Gaza, Maputo, Manica and Sofala. The Tswa people also live in eastern portions of the Republic of South Africa, and eastern and southern Zimbabwe. International borders were established long after the arrival of these people in this area of Africa. There are basically no significant concentrations of Tswa people living in Mozambique north of the Zambezi River, which more or less divides the country in two. The capital city of Maputo is now home to quite a few Tswa people as well, despite the major people group of the city being people of the Ronga group. Identity: The name of this people in their language is Vatswa. The singular form is Mutswa. They are often referred to, especially by outsiders, as Tswa, following the patterns of English grammar. The Tswa people are part of a larger language/people group called the Tsonga (Vatsonga). The Tsonga encompass three sub-groups: the Ronga, Tswa and Tsonga (Shangaan). These three groups are very similar in practically every respect. They originated from the same indigenous Bantu peoples who came down from the north to inhabit much of what is now called southern Mozambique and portions of several bordering countries.

Travel Warning Early History Archaeologists have found stone-age implements and pebble tools in several areas of Zimbabwe, a suggestion of human habitation for many centuries, and the ruins of stone buildings provide evidence of early civilization. The most impressive of these sites is the "Great Zimbabwe" ruins, after which the country is named, located near Masvingo. Evidence suggests that these stone structures were built between the 9th and 13th centuries A.D. by indigenous Africans who had established trading contacts with commercial centers on Africa's southeastern coast.

ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN MISSION CENTER NEWS LISTSERVER March 24, 1999 Orthodoxy in Zimbabwe by Raphael Ganda The country of Zimbabwe is situated in central Southern Africa. It is a landlocked country with Zambia in the north, Mozambique in the east, South Africa in the south and Botswana in the west. Before independence in 1980, the country used to be known as Rhodesia. It is a multiracial community of about 12 million people, with the Shona and the Nelebele being the two major ethnic groups. It is a Christian country with predominance by the Roman Catholic and the Anglican churches. The spiritual jurisdiction of the Holy Orthodox Archbishopric of Zimbabwe includes the faithful of Malawi, Mozambique, Botswana, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. The headquarters is in Harare, and the Metropolitan is His Eminence Makarios, who was enthroned earlier this year. The realities of the Orthodox Church in Zimbabwe are typical of the situation in the whole of Southern Africa. Orthodoxy was brought primarily by the Greeks and Cypriots of the Diaspora. We have a very strong Greek community and those who are here now are of the third generation. Thus, it was inevitable that the early clergy who came here were to serve the liturgical and the spiritual needs of the Greek community, a community which is very well organized, strongly spiritual and active. We have catechetical classes, Sunday School classes, Syndesmos of the Orthodox youth, associations for young couples, for the elderly, group meetings for the youth, works of charity, libraries for Orthodox books or videos, to name but just a few.

Activities and Programs Center for Indigenous Knowledge for Agriculture and Rural Development Acting as a Global Clearinghouse for Indigenous Knowledge Systems The documentation unit and library of the Center for Indigenous Knowledge for Agriculture and Rural Development (CIKARD) has so far collected, catalogued, and preserved more than 4,000 documents pertaining to indigenous knowledge systems from all over the globe. Most of the documents are unpublished 'gray literature' and are not available in libraries. A recent publication of the U.S. National Research Council (1992: 10), supporting this role of CIKARD, states that "Development agencies should place greater emphasis on, and assume a stronger role in, systematizing the local knowledge baseindigenous knowledge, 'gray literature,' anecdotal information. A vast heritage of knowledge about species, ecosystems, and their use exists, but it does not appear in the world literature, being either insufficiently "scientific" or not "developmental." Designing Training Manuals on Methodologies for Recording Indigenous Knowledge Systems A consortium of Iowa Institutions of Higher Education, representing three state universities and the state's largest community college, with their Nigerian counterpart institutes, has been awarded a Co-operative Agreement by USAID under the University Development Linkage Project (UDLP). The purpose of the UDLP is to strengthen institutional capacities for research and training in several key areas of development planning and management. CIKARD at Iowa State University is one of the member institutions in the consortium. The program objectives of the UDLP focus on eight principal areas of which indigenous knowledge systems is a central one. Workshops are currently being conducted in the eight institutions to gain an understanding of and an appreciation for the role of indigenous knowledge systems in agriculture, rural development, and natural resource management.

Communal Areas Management Programme for Indigenous Resources (CAMPFIRE) Indigenous Peoples WWF Statement of Principles On the Ground Countries Publications Related Links WWF Projects in Brazil Cameroon Canada Central African Republic ... Thailand Zimbabwe When it was created in 1984, the Zimbabwe CAMPFIRE focused on the communal land areas which had retained significant wildlife resources (14% of Zimbabwe's land area) rather than the state owned and managed Game Management Areas. From the very beginning, the indigenous peoples of these communal areas became the driving force behind the CAMPFIRE programme. The Tonga, Venda, Ndau, Ndebele and Shangaan people of Zimbabwe became responsible for managing their own natural resources and were able to retain significant benefits at the village and ward level. In 1989, the Nyaminyami and Guruve Rural District Councils became the first two districts recognized as the ‘owners’ of the wildlife resources in their communal land areas. By early 1991, a further ten districts had been given appropriate authority, with another 12 at various stages of the approval process. Within four years CAMPFIRE was providing 6.9 million Zimbabwe dollars a year in direct benefits to over 500,000 people. In 1998, it provided Zimbabwe with $70 million (US$1.9 million) in benefits to over three million Zimbabweans in 35 of Zimbabwe's 56 districts.
