@Hon_Kasukuwere Chirandu, once an operative, the experience and discipline stay with you. Some things become part of who you are. Respect, always.

As a young goat farmer, losing animals is losing an investment. Two months ago, hyenas took a prized doe; today, two promising bucks. Not just kids future breeding masters for my kraal, a village, perhaps a nation. We grieve, learn, and move.

@WildPasts_ Then I clearly haven’t escaped diplomacy after all, Professor. Seeing Monty in the picture, I can certainly believe you! I suspect the negotiations might just be a little more chaotic than I had imagined.

After this PhD, I want a Jack Russell at least its movements won’t require a veterinary cordon, grazing regime, and diplomatic negotiations.

Livestock remains the bank of the rural and middle clss, while the elite store wealth in property. When cattle and goats are no longer secure, rural livelihoods are threatened. Government must strengthen livestock security. For many farmers, livestock is their bank and insurance.

CATTLE RUSTLERS STRIKE AGAIN

A COMMUNAL farmer in Rusape was left counting huge loses after cattle rustlers broke into his kraal, stole two beasts and slaughtered and deboned them before disappearing with the meat.

@WildPasts_ The cattle story caught my attention more than the accordion wars! I feel like there’s always more to cattle @WildPasts_

When Thomas MAPFUMO’s house burnt down, the total amount raised from donations was about $1000. How much was raised for Bulletproof Cars which never arrived? Good morning Zimbabweans!

[Brooks Marmon @AfricaInDC]

Likely the most readable PhD thesis I've ever encountered.

I look forward to more scholarship from @tavdhoog in the years to come and hope this book inspires further work on the fascinating N. Korea - Africa nexis.

A LETTER TO MY PROFESSOR, @GerryMazarire: SIR, this is what your cruel colleagues at UZ Economic History Department wrung out of my diffident mind!!! Inspired by several of your case studies, I make a fairly compelling case for a very dynamic, pre-colonial surplus, market-facing Agricultural tradition in Zimbabwe, which then whites even more dependent on African produce from 1890 to about the late 1940s, even under conditions of severe, limited access to land. I debunk the myth of colonialism as a CIVILISING MISSION, even showing how the African peasant farmer was deeply contemptuous of his white equivalent and supposed superior who, quite apart from being a reluctant landowner and a spectacular agricultural failure right through to the inter-war period, actually survived as a grain-buyer and grain-seller of African produce. Or a grain rent collector from the African producer-tenant who remained on colonially alienated land. I just thought I should humour you and Prof Shadreck Chirikure, @chirikure for influencing a mind you never physically touched!!! By the way, I am extremely hostile to historians who treat 1890 as a starting date for Zimbabwean history. Simply, this is both false and an unfortunate vindication of a long-held colonial myth suggesting African history starts with the arrival of the first white man in Africa. My case study of Mangwe District as defined by the Ndebele Kingdom between 1850 and 1893 just shows that.

@Jamwanda2 @GerryMazarire I believe this is a well-researched project, @Jamwanda2. I saw you working so hard in the archives. I still recall bothering you to help me read the cursive handwriting in the colonial records. Your dedication and hard work have truly paid off. Congratulations!
