Negotiated’ Indigenous Food Practices in Displacement? Lessons in Socio-Cultural Dislocation
The socio-hydrological dynamics of Zimbabwe’s Tugwi-Mukosi community before and after displacement
This article explores the evolving dynamics of human – water interactions within the displaced southern Zimbabwe’s Tugwi-Mukosi community. The study is situated within the broader context of escalating global water challenges. Key concerns include declining rainfall, river desiccation, and water-induced displacement of communities. Guided by cultural ecological theory and John Rawls’ ‘Difference Principle’, a core component of justice as fairness…
Conservation-Induced Dispossession and Local Community Responses
Displacement by design? short- to medium-term effectiveness of Zimbabwe’s 2014 Tugwi-Mukosi resettlement plan and management
Escaping government resettlement plots for self-resettlement
This article investigates the practices of reconstructing livelihoods by migrants in self-resettlement contexts. It draws on experiences of migrants who departed from their state-designated Chingwizi resettlement plots established in 2014 in southern Zimbabwe choosing instead to settle ‘elsewhere’ in Mwenezi district. The article is a reflection informed by researchers’ experiences while investigating how the displaced Tugwi-Mukosi community grap…
Village market” formation and livelihood conundrums among displaced rural Zimbabwean flood victims
Purpose The primacy of commerce in livelihood security cannot be overstated. However, in a rural context defined by involuntary socio-ecological displacement, commerce can assume a sociologically distinct character, with far-reaching implications. Based on first-hand encounters with victims of the devastating 2014 flood in Tokwe-Mukorsi, Zimbabwe, this paper analyses how the processes of “recreating” village markets in the resettlement site of Ch…
Internal displacement, victim (non-)compensation, and the politics of the caring state in Zimbabwe
This article examines the process of compensating internally displaced persons in Zimbabwe, revealing a stark contrast between the political rhetoric of a caring state and the reality of ongoing neglect. Utilising ethnographic data from Tokwe-Mukorsi displacement, the study argues that the government's approach to compensation reflects a complex interplay of political interests, economic constraints, and cultural insensitivity. Key findings inclu…
The socio-politics of (Re)constructing home in a post-displacement context in rural Zimbabwe
This paper contributes to and advances the sociological discourse on ‘homing’ by examining the implications of the socio-political dynamics of resettlement, with particular reference to the 2014 Tokwe-Mukorsi flood victims in rural Zimbabwe, five years after they were resettled in Chingwizi. The article highlights the intricacies encountered by displaced persons as they strive to establish what they consider an ideal home – one that guarantees, a…
A ‘translation’ perspective on socio-ecological displacement
Disaster management ‘deeds’ in the context of April 2022 KwaZulu-Natal floods
The increasing frequency and severity of environmental disasters is cause for concern globally. This comes against the backdrop of widespread criticism of the manner in which most countries handle disaster situations. In this article, South Africa's disaster management is appraised through a scoping review that highlights the 'deeds' undertaken by major protagonists (the state, flood victims, and other non-state actors) prior to, during, and afte…
Low awareness and use of post-exposure prophylaxis among adolescents and young adults in South Africa
The vulnerability of adolescents and young adults in South Africa to HIV and sexual violence is well documented. Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is available for victims of sexual abuse in the country but awareness of this measure is required to maximise its HIV-prevention benefits. This study examined levels of PEP awareness and its correlates and the uptake of PEP among 772 students (16-24 years) in a South African university using stratified r…
