| Abstract: | Since the attainment of Zimbabwean independence, the government has made efforts to redress colonially-induced land ownership imbalances. Of significance in this paper is the relationship between the decolonization processes as signified in the 2000 land occupations and the names given to the new satellite schools. The concerned communities in Shona, Shangaan and English name the selected schools and the choice is deliberate if language is understood as a tool that people of all cultures use to name their reality and define themselves. This paper then seeks to demonstrate the contribution of names of satellite schools to an understanding of the Third Chimurenga. |
