Leaving no one behind
In most rural communities in South Africa, there is inadequate access to information due to a lack of public facilities and infrastructure, such as libraries and internet connections. This has a negative impact on the day-to-day activities of rural dwellers as it deprives them of the opportunity to access information, which is a fundamental right. This qualitative study used the Delphi technique, interviewing five experts in the Library and Infor…
The proof of the pudding is in the eating
Timely evaluation of services is a missing link in many Zimbabwean public sector organisations, resulting in poor quality service provision. Guided by the gap analysis model theoretical framework, this study reviewed the quality of services provided by National Archives of Zimbabwe (NAZ) using the SERVQUAL instrument, with a view to making recommendations for enhancing continuous quality improvement. NAZ was confronted with challenges characteris…
Empowering or disempowering? archives as a tool to support or hinder land restitution in South Africa
Archives have become acceptable evidence in the context of land restitution to prove events that occurred in the past during land dispossessions. However, some researchers contend that archives are not always available and accessible when restitution claimants seek them due to loss, restrictions and lack of intellectual control. The purpose of this study was to explore archives as a tool to support or hinder land restitution in South Africa. This…

Policy framework for integrating data interoperability at public hospitals in South Africa
The implementation of data interoperability in healthcare relies heavily on policy frameworks. However, many hospitals across South Africa are struggling to integrate data interoperability between systems, due to insufficient policy frameworks. There is a notable awareness that existing policies do not provide clear actionable direction for interoperability implementation in hospitals. This study aims to develop a policy framework for integrating…
Publish or perish? Innovative models for scholarly publishing in Zimbabwe
Innovative publishing models have emerged to meet the demands of the ‘publish or perish’ philosophy prevalent in academic and scholarly circles. Publishing models serve as the operational blueprint underpinning the value and supply chains of products in the publishing industry, aligning operational plans, design strategies, and production methodologies with the overarching goal of scholarly publishing. The duty of scholarly publishers to advance …
Inclusion of digital records in the archives and records management curricula in a comprehensive open distance e-learning environment
Recent developments in the knowledge economy impact on the archival profession globally. Key components of the fourth industrial revolution (4IR), such as blockchain technology and artificial intelligence are influencing the manner and context in which digital records in organisations are managed. This has necessitated the University of South Africa, a comprehensive open distance e-learning institution (CODeL), through the Department of Informati…
Divine ambiguity
The debate surrounding the nature and attributes of God as presented in the Bible has garnered significant attention and critique from various philosophical perspectives like Friedrich Nietzsche, Bertrand Russell and David Hume. This philosophical critique emphasises the inconsistency in the nature of God and challenges traditional theological beliefs. The expression of regret by the God of the Bible in Genesis 6:6 raises philosophical dilemmas r…
Ethno-community archiving
Community archiving is initiated for varied reasons by different communities. Some of these archives can be centred on ethnicity, sexual orientation, race, religion, economic status and physical location. However, the major driving force motivating community archiving is generally the politics of identity. In any perceived external threat, similar communities are likely to come together and defend themselves. It is this general human survival tac…
Indigenous Archives in Postcolonial Contexts
Indigenous Archives in Postcolonial Contexts revisits the definition of a record and extends it to include memory, murals, rock art paintings and other objects. Drawing on five years of research and examples from Zimbabwe, Botswana and South Africa, the authors analyse archives in the African context. Considering issues such as authentication, ownership and copyright, the book considers how murals and their like can be used as extended or counter…
Building counter-archives
Counter-archives, including those aligned to universities, have grown and developed as alternatives to the conventional and traditional mainstream archives. The purpose of this paper is to look into how such counter-archives are building and using their holdings. The study is based on two purposively selected counter-archives, which are the Sinomlando Centre and Memory Work in Africa and South African History Archive. The data were collected thro…
Neither prelegal nor nonlegal
Oral testimony, oral tradition and documents, as represented by written accounts of the facts and the material instruments of the acts and the records, are all ways of indirectly accessing the past. In both cases of oral and written records, what is considered ‘true’ is entirely dependent on the trustworthiness of its source. African societies have been communicating and storing valuable information through memory, murals and rock art paintings s…
Transcending invisible lanes through inclusion of athletics memories in archival systems in South Africa
In countries like South Africa, sports have the power to transcend invisible lanes of politics and race and thus inspire citizens to come together. Sport, including athletics, has been demonstrated as an instrument of solidarity of fragmented cultures. However, while sport is of such significance, it is still minimally represented in public archival holdings in South Africa. Despite the mandate to transform the archival system, evidence suggests …
So far we have travelled – are we there yet? An exploration of national archival expedition in Eswatini
The purpose of this study was to assess the preservation of and access to archives at the eSwatini National Archives (ENA). The study was based on the interpretive research paradigm, which encompasses a systematic literature review. Data were collected through different documents, such as journal articles, web pages, monographs, strategic plans, annual reports and archival legislation, with the latter providing the ENA with a statutory role to ma…
Management of digital records in selected financial services parastatals in Zimbabwe
In recent years, there has been a surge of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in the conduct of business. Public sector institutions in Zimbabwe have also embraced ICTs with an objective of promoting accountability, transparency and service delivery. This has increased the generation of digital records which are key in day-to-day business activities. However, the management of such records has been a challenge for most public secto…
Compliance with freedom of information legislation by public bodies in South Africa
Extending the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology with the problems of digital access to (re)connect the disconnected Neets
This study focuses on how lack of digital access can impede progress in the lives of young people who are not in education, employment, or training (NEET) by investigating their concerns and issues surrounding accessing online information. The study employs and extends the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) by drawing on data from three previous studies, carried out in 2018, 2019 and 2020, to verify that digital access is …
