With rising incomes, life cover has become more affordable and is mostly taken out as pure term life policies, due for payout only after the death of the policyholder. Since the contracts may involve high payout amounts, companies advise their customers to sign a testament to settle the estate in good time. However, neither insurance companies nor brokers are adequately familiar with the provisions of the prevailing customary laws of inheritance for Namibia’s many cultural groups. This article investigates the role of insurance brokers and the cultural appropriation of formal insurance as a means of safeguarding the future of the living and the dead.","PeriodicalId":54118,"journal":{"name":"Anthropology Southern Africa","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76295788","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It can also happen that migrants in the diaspora maintain boundedness, fixity and nostalgic exclusivity in a physical manner when they are estranged from their original homeland. This is often so with ageing, long-term, first-generation migrants, as demonstrated by the current ethnographic study amongst the Malawian diaspora in the Lydiate informal settlement in Zimbabwe. In this perplexing situation, the migrants cling to the ethnic grouping of “Malawian migrants at Lydiate” in an attempt to salvage a measure of community belonging and to help them experience a “home of a sort.” The study demonstrates that it is not always the case that ideas of home are shifting, mobile and whimsical; in some instances, often when migrants are ageing and of the first generation, the idea of a stable, sedentary, bounded and fixed perception of home might prevail. In other words, ideas of home are replicated in concentrated imaginings in the “new” country of residence.","PeriodicalId":54118,"journal":{"name":"Anthropology Southern Africa","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82291734","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article introduces questions around solidarity, discontinuity and dissent amongst volkekundiges up to the closure of their department. The article uses a network approach to unravel how volkekundiges at the university were entangled with Afrikaner organisations and how their work reflected Afrikaner nationalism. Given tightly knit networks at Afrikaans universities and the appearance of monolithic unity, the limited scope for dissent is of interest. The article follows the development of volkekunde at Stellenbosch in tandem with major changes in the apartheid project for which volkekundiges provided theoretical confirmation of the social categories required to divide and rule black people. Three periods (policy development, implementation, and implosion of apartheid) organise the material, illustrating trends towards solidarity of networks but also (minor) disruptions showing differentiation and dissent. Close connections between academic work and ideological support for nationalist politics characterised the rise of volkekunde at Stellenbosch. This trend also led to the abandonment of volkekunde (then “anthropology”), despite last-attempt retooling of an unsustainable tradition during South Africa’s democratic transition.","PeriodicalId":54118,"journal":{"name":"Anthropology Southern Africa","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88922579","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During the South African border war, San soldiers joined the South African Defence Force in their fight against African liberation movements in Angola and Namibia. Shortly before Namibian independence, these soldiers and their families were evacuated to a military base in South Africa. Amidst the concurrent political changes in South Africa, the fate of this small San community came to be uncertain and insecure. In their quest for a place to settle permanently, the group experienced different racial, socio-economic and cultural problems. Eventually in 2003, they settled permanently in Platfontein. Overall, the government’s resettlement project was a “quick-fix” decision, not an integrated solution. It shaped many chronic socio-economic problems among the Platfontein community. The article thus seeks to understand how the small group of indigenous inhabitants has been affected by major changes in Southern Africa and reveals the key factors that favoured and hindered its integration in South Africa.","PeriodicalId":54118,"journal":{"name":"Anthropology Southern Africa","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82168127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Whilst this action received international praise, its implementation by the armed security forces in many ways mirrored colonial and apartheid-era controls on movement, such as violent policing and curfews. In this article, we explore former anti-apartheid activists’ experiences of the lockdown. We argue two points: lockdown policing triggered memories of state violence among apartheid survivors; and widespread support for the lockdown evidences the ways in which surveillance and the security state apparatus have become normalised in post-apartheid South Africa. We conclude by discussing alternatives to militarised policing during public health crises.","PeriodicalId":54118,"journal":{"name":"Anthropology Southern Africa","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87918026","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
