Hegemonising Zimbabwe? The Polity of Mbare Chimurenga Lyrics in Perpetuating Mugabe’s and Zanu-PF’s Rule
The role played by music as “popular culture” in political campaigning and in the perpetuation and sustenance of political hegemonies is a very significant one. Music and its accompaniment of dance is a common and popular channel through which political hegemonies are (re)constructed, (re)negotiated and perpetuated. In Zimbabwe the two largest political parties (ZANU-PF and MDC-T) both “own” musical ensembles who have been constantly and consiste…

Arguments for an appraisal linguistic discourse approach to the analysis of ‘objectivity’ in ‘hard’ news reports
Studies focusing on the ideal of ‘objectivity’ in ‘hard’ news reports are numerous, with most of them falling within journalistic studies and being theorised from diverse theoretical insights. This article departs from a journalistic to a linguistic discourse approach, presenting evidence that the linguistic discourse analytical framework of Appraisal Theory provides alternative ways of analysing ‘objectivity’ and ideological bias in ‘hard’ news …
Resolving hiatus in (isi)Ndebele
Vowel hiatus is a dispreferred phenomenon in many languages. When vowel sequences arise through morphophonological concatenations in (isi)Ndebele, hiatus may be resolved in one of three processes: (i) one of the two vowels undergoes elision; (ii) one of the vowels (mostly the first vowel in the sequence) undergoes glide formation; and (iii) the two vowels undergo vowel coalescence – the merging of the two vowels into a neutral vowel that has the …
Evaluating authorial ‘objectivity’ and ‘stancetaking’ in reporting the making of a new constitution in Zimbabwean newspapers
Zimbabwe held 'fresh' elections on July 31, 2013 under a new constitution. This was in line with the provisions of the Global Political Agreement (GPA), a political power-sharing compromise signed between Zimbabwe's three main political parties, following the heavily disputed 2008 harmonised presidential and parliamentary elections. The GPA established in Zimbabwe a Government of National Unity (GNU). On the road to making a new constitution, pol…
