This article provides a window into the lives of the residents of Agnes Rest, a rural village in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa. Using water infrastructures, I explore how two local terms umama wekhaya and abuntu babelungu, express local subjectivities created on the premise of an individual’s experience of water access and their associated roles. I argue that local subjectivities are important to consider when conceptualising “what is development?” The grounded perceptions of Agnes Rest residents are shaped by the unique social categories that are present in their community. Inevitably, they portray a story of inequality and uneven distribution of municipal infrastructure in contemporary rural Eastern Cape. Drawing on Brian Larkin’s definition of infrastructure, I analyse how points of water infrastructure are generative sites of engagement that connect and differentiate people, construct social spaces and influence local meanings of change and development.

Based on ethnographic fieldwork carried out in Cape Town over four months, this article addresses the question of how African immigrant youth experience life and live as “citizens” in Cape Town. African immigrant youth straddle multiple positions, localities and identities. This article examines the ways youth activate citizenship and belonging through civic participation, often in the absence of formal citizenship. This research finds that youth are actively deciding to be the change they want to see in the world, looking backwards and forwards to determine their decision to participate in civic engagement. The youth’s notions of themselves and their aspirations impact not only their future life goals and dreams but drive their actions to contribute towards the betterment or improvement of their communities in the present. Civic participation through community engagement allows African immigrant youth to dream and access citizenship and become a part of society where they are recognised as contributing members.

This article reports on a ceremony gone awry at Kufunda Village, Zimbabwe, in which women had refused to follow a gendered cultural script of forgiveness and had instead released rather than slaughtered a chicken. They thus reinscribed old symbols with new meanings as a means of contesting patriarchy and beginning a slow process of restorative justice. Kufunda Village was set up as a direct response to conditions of postcolonial modernity in Zimbabwe: the village’s inhabitants see themselves as engaged in a process of learning new ways of inhabiting Zimbabwe in the aftermath of the socioeconomic collapse of the post-2000 era. This paper presents a detailed ethnographic examination of this locally generated example of an invented- tradition-in-process to argue that the refusal of “quick” forgiveness allowed for the development of a slower, more processual form of restorative justice that was seen as being more likely to succeed. I contrast this form of slow change to larger-scale internationally generated models of transitional justice that have been rolled out in the country. I argue that any attempts at restorative justice in Zimbabwe need to recognise justice as a slow, processual and uneven process that needs to incorporate multiple hidden and overt harms.

This ethnographic study explores how church membership and Pentecostal beliefs afford Nigerian migrant traders living in Harare an opportunity to embed themselves within the spaces of Harare’s Downtown informal settlement, which are characterised by entrenched and heightened forms of exclusion and hostility. Their church membership and Pentecostal beliefs enable them to gain a voice, negotiate place and space, and align themselves flexibly with their hosts. Displacement and migration have been explored in the Zimbabwean context, but the focus has been on Zimbabweans as migrants to surrounding countries. Whilst internal displacement has received some attention, not much has been given to the experiences of migrants from other African countries in Zimbabwe. This article addresses this omission by documenting how the church membership and Pentecostal beliefs of Nigerian migrants allow them to map a symbolic landscape and construct a symbolic dwelling amidst heightened forms of exclusion.
