Mandela's Speech - May 20/97
In that process Zimbabwe played a pivotal role, as a regional leader in the our countries but also on our common heritage of the great zimbabwe culture.
http://www.queensu.ca/samp/sampresources/migrationdocuments/speeches/speech2.htm

Extractions: President Nelson Mandela Public Rally in Masvingo, Zimbabwe 20 May 1997 Back to Migration Documents Minister of Foreign Affairs, Distinguished guests, Citizens of Zimbabwe. We have come to Zimbabwe to strengthen the bonds between our two countries. I am honoured to stand before you today, men and women who have fought for their freedom; allies who shared the trenches of struggle with us; and partners in rebuilding our societies. South Africans are free today because the government and people of Zimbabwe considered their own freedom incomplete while their neighbours were still oppressed. Though thanks are not needed between those as close as we are, we do thank you from the bottom of our hearts, knowing the cost inflicted upon you by the apartheid regime because you supported us. Despite the cost to yourselves, you gave us material and moral support; a home from home for our exiles; and a voice in the councils of the region, the continent and the world. There could be no better place than this for South Africa's first democratically elected President to meet with you, the people of Zimbabwe. Great Zimbabwe reminds us of the ancient civilization of Africa, of the kingdoms and empires that flourished in the subcontinent, building wealth on vibrant trade in the region and with Asia until the disruptions of colonialism caused them to wither.

The circular, four storey building is also home to extensive displays of history and geology. The collection of mammals is the largest on the African continent, and as of 1984 it was rated eight largest in the world. It includes a large representation of extant mammals from Botswana, Mozambique, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Geology and Palaeontology is the oldest department at the Natural History Museum, having been established in 1901. The geological collections and displays are ranked among the best in Africa. The Arachnid Department has been in operation at the Natural History Museum since 1983, so it is a rather young department. Current research in the department focuses on scorpions and spiders.

Extractions: More effective dialogue between citizens and government is needed in Zimbabwe as a way to increase the competition of ideas in the political and economic governance of the country. Throughout the 1990s, a wide spectrum of civic organizations began to emerge as an increasingly articulate public voice for the aspirations of citizens. However, these groups had little experience or weak capacity for channeling advocacy efforts to achieve policy change through the legislative process.

http://www.africatravelling.net/zimbabwe/kariba/kariba_culture.htm

Extractions: Kariba Culture In a world made smaller by the jet engine and the automobile, there are few places left for the traveller who wants to escape the stresses and strains of the modern world and experience life closer to nature. Zimbabwe is home to one such place. Lake Kariba, running nearly three hundred kilometres from one end to the other, is a paradise for the discerning tourist who wants to catch a glimpse of an unspoilt Africa that has all but disappeared from the rest of the continent. Visitors to the lake can enjoy the unique privilege of viewing copious wildlife not just from a minibus, but from the tranquillity of a sailboat, canoe, or other craft on the water itself. Elephant, lion, buffalo, waterbuck, duiker, leopard, jackal, impala, kudu, zebra and even the occasional rhino can all be seen from extraordinary vantage point. But the lake is not only for wildlife enthusiasts; those who come to fish, sail, canoe, explore the indigenous culture or simply relax at the waters edge will all be richly rewarded. This is an Africa far removed from the bustle of mass tourism - it is a magical, primeval Africa that will linger in the mind for the rest of your life. Kariba is no less entrancing for being an artificial lake. Sandwiched between Zambia to the North and Zimbabwe to the south, it was created when the flow of the mighty Zambezi River was harnessed at Kariba Dam to generate hydro electricity for both countries. The construction of the dame and the power station beneath it remains one of the most spectacular feats of engineering ever undertaken in Africa. Today, Lake Kariba is the third largest man made reservoir in the world, its two thousand kilometres of shoreline creating a spectacular variety of estuaries that spill into the surrounding bush.

Extractions: 2. The Japan Foundation Library Support Programme The Japan Foundation Library Support Programme promotes research on and understanding of Japan through donations of books related to Japan to higher educational institutions (excluding elementary and secondary educational organisations) and large public libraries. Harare City Library On 15th November, 2003, Ambassador Tsuneshige Iiyama handed-over books related to Japan that were donated by the Japan Foundation through its Library Support Programme. The donation to the Harare City Library amounted to US$2,800 and became the first large public library to benefit from this scheme in Zimbabwe. Ambassador Iiyama expressed his hope that the donated books shall be used and enjoyed to the full extent and that Japanese culture, history, politics, economics, literature, art, religion and law be a medium for that essential process of personal discovery, while at the same time bridging the gap between Japan and Zimbabwe which are geographically very far from each other. Zimbabwe Open University and the University of Zimbabwe were also beneficiaries in 2002, followed by Africa University in 2004.
