Introducing migratuality through Kufambira
This article proposes migratuality, a southern-centred theory of mobility grounded in African spiritual and relational epistemologies. Drawing on the Shona concept of kufambira, it explores how migration can be understood not as mere relocation but as a transformative, collective and metaphysical journey. It places African thought at the centre of migration studies. Kufambira, a Shona term, embodies the familial, communal, spiritual and relationa…
The religious aspiration-capability nexus in African youth migration
This paper examines the intersection of religion, youth and migration in Africa, showing how religion shapes aspirations and capabilities of youth vis-a-vis migration. By decentering economic and political narratives, the study explores the often-overlooked religious dimensions that influence young Africans' imagination and pursuit of migratory futures. Drawing from a multi-scalar theoretical framework of religion, the paper engages data from a m…
Harare’s waiting generation? Resilient waiting, lived religion and youth in transnational contexts
Narratives create people and people create narratives as (re)shaped by lived religion. In Harare, poignant narratives unfold about the stories of “left-behind” youth who grapple with the dual burdens of precarity and longing as their parents and guardians seek better lives in diasporic enclaves. To crystallise the lived realities of these youth, the study engaged in qualitative research, employing in-depth interviews, field observations and refle…

While the advent of Zimbabwe's independence in 1980 with Robert Mugabe as founding prime minister was largely received as the best outcome of the liberation struggle of the 1970s and as the foundation upon which a prosperous nation could be built, the euphoria did not last long. Over the years, Mugabe's rule became increasingly authoritarian to the extent that his ouster by Emmerson Mnangagwa through the coup of November 2017 would momentarily oc…
The elitist subaltern? Jonathan Moyo's tweets as a Machiavellian barometer of post-Mugabe Zimbabwean politics
Discussing and contesting politics on Twitter has taken centre stage in Zimbabwe. In this discursive cyber-scape, political celebrities have emerged. Professor Jonathan Moyo is one of the popular voices (re)configuring the ideological and conceptual (dis)continuities of Zimbabwe’s post-coup d’état political culture. Moyo was ejected from his position as a ZANU PF political insider after the military-led ousting of long-time ruler Robert Gabriel M…
