This book presents a typical rural Zimbabwe setting among communities at each other's throats due land ownership wrangles created by the Fast Track Land Reform Programme, dubbed 'Jambanja', a local term referring to a chaotic situation due to the chaotic unfolding of the land reform. The research-based book presents conflicts involving returning Ndebele-speaking Insiza communities displaced by the Colonial government to Gokwe in Midlands province and self-resettled Shona-speaking Zimbabweans from neighbouring Shona-speaking Zvishavane community. Chief Jahana, who together with his approximately 16000 subjects displaced by colonial Rhodesian government's Land Apportionment; Tenure; and Husbandry Acts (1930s-1950s) return to find Chief Mazetese occupying their ancestral land, sparking recurrent potentially tribal and ethnocentric conflicts.
