Childhood and children's migration in the era of Covid‐19: A case study of Zimbabwean children/young people's migration to South Africa
This paper draws on research with a group of Zimbabwean orphaned young people. It explores their experiences of migrating to South Africa during the COVID‐19 period when official borders were closed. It draws attention to the complexities of south–south migration in the era of COVID‐19 in a way that situates the orphaned child migrants as having contradictory, fluid identities that are simultaneously victimised, agentic and infinitely more comple…
‘Reconfiguration and adaptation of a church in times of Covid-19 pandemic: A focus on selected churches in Harare and Marondera, Zimbabwe
The explosion of COVID-19 pandemic on the global scene has redefined human interaction in a manner that is unprecedented. Religious practices have also been challenged globally as the new norm of social distancing and lockdown become the new normal strictly enforced by state apparatus. Freedom of association that underpins the hallmark of worshipping has thus been put to a halt. Churches then have to negotiate and create a new norm under such unc…

Mobile Money and the (Un)Making of Social Relations in Chivi, Zimbabwe
The rapid expansion of mobile money technologies in Zimbabwe has substantially altered the monetary ecology and the payment landscape. This article examines the ways in which the adoption, usage and meanings attached to mobile money (re)configure social relationships in the rural community of Chivi. We demonstrate the ways in which mobile money technologies mediate the politics of everyday social relations and shape local social relations in prof…
