- W2899160913 abstract "Traditional practices and taboos have been used for a very long time in Chizhou located within Chirumanzu District in Zimbabwe to manage mashuku fruits also known as mazhanje (uapacakirklania) for the benefit of communities. The adaptation of modern values has, however, resulted in the over-harvesting of fruits as well as destruction of fruit bearing trees. This study endeavoured to establish why traditional values on the management of mishuku trees have been abandoned in Chizhou. It also sought to find out the impacts on the environment of the neglect of these controls. As such this qualitative study sought to gain an understanding of the underlying reasons, opinions, and motivations of this abandonment. Purposive sampling techniques were used to select study participants. The study targeted a sub-chief, three headmen and local traditional leaders with traditional knowledge on the management of mishuku trees and their fruits. The study also used villagers who were a homogenous group of people that behaved in an almost similar way towards the utilisation of mishuku trees and the fruits. Face-to-face interviews and observations were used to gather data from the participants. The study team observed the behaviour of villagers to obtain first hand information as they harvested fruits for sale. The study established that activities in Chizhou were unsustainable. Traditional leaders’ power to manage the trees and fruits was usurped by politicians. Villagers cut mishuku trees for fuelwood and construction. Due to commercialisation of the fruits villagers harvested even the raw fruits. Traditionally people were supposed to pick ripe fruits instead of climbing trees to gather fruits. Wild animals were denied the fruits as villagers picked everything. The study recommended that traditional leaders should reclaim their authority over the trees and fruits. Chizhou area should be developed so that villagers have other means of making money other than selling mashuku." @default.
