This paper describes parallels and overlaps in the responsibilities and power of the local authorities that govern rural Zimbabwean communities, where the majority of Zimbabweans live. The paper goes on to demonstrate how these parallels and overlaps generate conflict in these communities. These conflicts impede development, fragment rural communities and can result in violence.
Peace has many faces. This booklet presents eight stories which show how people in Zim
-
babwe managed to deal peacefully with conflicts. We hear about Chishuwo (23) in Epworth,
Memory (31) in Murehwa and Jabuliso (92) in Bulawayo – how they succeeded in overcoming
potentially disastrous divisions in their community or their cooperative, how they managed
to forgive people who had treated them violently or had caused other harm to them.
Women talk about how they became victims of politically motivated violence – and how they
learnt to make the most of their lives after their terrible ordeal. We hear how a community
forum can encourage divided residents to lay aside their different opinions and ideologies
and plan together for the development of their village, be it the construction of a well or a
school.
All eight stories have one thing in common: In each case, the best way out of an apparently
unsolvable conflict or a hopeless situation was found only after the intervention of a Zim
-
babwean peace organisation.
These eight organisations have one thing in common as well: They are assisted by expert
personnel from the German Civil Peace Service (CPS) programme. Lawyers, mediators,
psychologists and other CPS experts advise Zimbabwean peace organisations on how to
implement their projects. They all contribute to a more peaceful Zimbabwe by encouraging
people to change their behaviour and tackle conflicts in a peaceful manner.
"...True reconciliation is one that is collectively owned by all the stakeholders, and puts at the centre of the process community needs and participation...the process must encompass both the top-down and bottom-up approaches, pursued in a complementary fashion to each other while at the same time putting community interests and participation at the centre. To that extent, therefore, it becomes community driven."
This initiative seeks to build a profile of the different types of conflict which are taking place in Zimbabwe's 10 provinces. A database of organisations working in each province is also included in the publication.
The idea of a training manual emanated from the realisation that violent conflicts result in dysfunctional, wounded and divided communities that are trapped by fear, anger and all forms of social ills that create a breeding ground for fresh cycles of violence. The manual was produced to enhance the capacity of members of the PBNZ in their peace-building work by way of bottom-up approach that also seeks to complement the role that will be played by the National Peace and Reconciliation Commission (NPRC) and other local and national processes. Specifically, the manual is intended to develop the capacity of members of the PBNZ in their efforts to heal communities devastated by political violence, as well as by future instances of violent conflict, so that peace can be sustained in Zimbabwe. It is therefore a tool to be used by civil society and development workers to assist communites to draw a line under their past experiences of political violence and rebuild relationships based on peace and development.
This paper outlines challenges to the provision of basic social services in resettlement areas in Zimbabwe, particularly adequate health facilities and schools. The paper discusses the process of resettlement, which took place rapidly and with little planning. Research was conducted in Midlands province in Vungu and Tongogara districts, in Kushinga, Lukhuluba and Zhaugwe wards. Data was collected through individual interviews, consultations and focus group discussions.
