"Inevitably, a quick-growing movement of this kind met antagonism; her popular strength was great, and this emboldened her followers to defy the government on certain issues. She held court, rather in the traditional style of a chief; thus prophetism here, as elsewhere in Africa, was an avenue of social mobility. Nonetheless, district officers conceded that in Chinsali district where the Lumpa Church was strongest, morality had greatly improved. In 1963 the followers of Lenshina became involved in politics, despite her exhortations, and in the last days before complete independence a clash occurred between Lumpa churchmen and the authorities in which some hundreds of her followers were killed. Alice Lenshina, although perhaps not responsible for this conflict, was arrested and for some years the government prohibited the movement. " Luvale Zambia country Haskins, J.

Wim van Binsbergen Ethnicity and identity in South Central Africa homepage © 1997-2002 Wim van Binsbergen [ van Binsbergen, W.M.J., 1997, ‘Ideology of ethnicity in Central Africa’, in: Middleton, J.M., ed., Encyclopaedia of Africa south of the Sahara, New York: Scribners, vol. 2, pp. 91-99]
The point of departure: the actors’ ideology of ethnicity in central Africa today
In the post-colonial nation-states of Central Africa today (from the equator to the Limpopo River), Black Africans identify as members of named categories designated ‘tribe’, ‘ethnic group’, or equivalents of these terms in African and European languages in local use. Such ethnic groups tend to be felt as a tangible reality. They are claimed to organize major aspects of the individual’s life in the field of language, expressive and ritual culture, kinship, production, and reproduction; allegiance and opposition in traditional and modern politics are considered to be largely determined along ethnic lines. The national territory is often seen as parceled up in contiguous sections each of which forms an ethnic group’s rural home area administered by a traditional ruler (chief, headman); the natural habitat of ethnic identity is therefore thought to be ‘the village home’, a category implying purity, meaningfulness and order. This view is largely nostalgic. Significant ethnic processes in Central Africa today evolve not only in rural context, but also in towns, bureaucracies and national political circles; they include born urbanites organizing themselves not in historic localized groups but through dyadic network contacts and formal organizations. Moreover, massive 20th-century social change in the rural areas has blurred the distinction between town and countryside.

THE STATUS OF THE INDIGENOUS LANGUAGES IN INTITUTIONS OF LEARNING IN ZAMBIA: PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE
Dr. P.C. Manchisi

University of Zambia
INTRODUCTION
During the colonial period, missionaries came and settled in various parts of the country. They opened churches, hospitals and schools. What one can state without any fear of contradiction is that the drive for evangelisation proved extremely successful because the missionaries used local languages. The bible and other Christian literature were translated into the local languages. People chanted hymns in the language they understood best ie. Their own local languages, and even in the school s the medium of instruction was in their own local language at least up to the 4th grade. Because of this, there was a wealth of literature in the local languages. The status of a Zambian Language in the education system has been eroded by the low rating accorded to it by the public at large. Very few tertiary institutions accept Language as an entry qualification, except in very special circumstances. Educator are now putting forward a case to have children taught in their mother tongue or in the prevalent local language of the area for the first four grades. It is argued that children can only learn best in the language that they understand best and after that they can be in a better position to learn in another language. This obviously means that the training of teachers for lower primary schools the writing of curriculum materials for lower primary schools and the posting of teachers would have to take account the language map of the country.

General The South Africa Company administered the territory of Northern Rhodesia from 1891 until it was taken over by the UK in 1923. During the 1920s and 1930s, advances in mining spurred development and immigration. The name was changed to Zambia upon independence in 1964. In the 1980s and 1990s, declining copper prices and a prolonged drought hurt the economy. Zambia is a landlocked country in Southern Africa that borders Mozambique, Zimbabwe Tanzania, Malawi, Angola, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Namibia. Its border with Zimbabwe is a natural border, with the Zambezi River forming the boundary between the two countries Zambia is comprised of a variety of ethnic groups.

The complexity of this story makes it a difficult one to grasp, for it is built on the history of local African religions and of biological processes, of diverse child- rearing practices and of farming patterns, of divination techniques and of health bureaucracies. Because of the difficulty of knowing this story, it will be told as a connected whole only in lectures. The readings are devoted to three case studies, so that students can learn about culture and history in some detail in a few places. By building detailed understandings of local patterns students will acquire the knowledge with which to evaluate the history told in lectures.

3. Storage and savings: local concepts, options and decisions
When faced with unusually low income or unusually high expenditure for either planned or unforeseen purposes, an individual or group of individuals, can either draw upon his or her savings and/or make use of credit (Oxfam 1990: 6). This paper does not systematically review borrowing options, yet under particular conditions rural people might very well prefer to borrow (or exchange goods, money and/or services) instead of using own savings. Also, borrowing options might very well affect when and why people (do not) make use of own savings. Another, more fundamental option when faced with increasing costs of living is to withdraw from monetary transactions and put a greater emphasis on subsistence production and/or barter. According to Roeber (pers.comm. 1996), "Traders who provide basic commodities to the rural areas such as second hand clothing, sugar, salt, cooking oil, soap, etc. often barter with local farmers who have little need for cash since they have no access to formal financial systems." Roeber in this connection referred to the "problem of demonitization in the rural areas" of Zambia. A livestock officer of Kalabo District even told us that, "Money is not a source of exchange here in this area. It is a barter system" (Mkumba, pers.comm. 1997).

Page 2 of 5 Language oppression is not a phenomenon confined to Africa. Examples could be cited from any part of the world, including the so-called industrialized nations. What I am observing here with regard to Central Africa is analogous to what has been and still is practised in areas with totally different cultures elsewhere in the world. Oppressive strategies usually work in manner that the victimized groups learn to internalize the oppressor's standpoint. The oppressor, moreover, is not usually a person, but an abstract entity, such as a "policy", a "law", a "rule", a "convention", a "system", an "approved" way of behaviour. If a person in northwestern Zambia, for example, speaking Luchazi as his/her mother tongue, feels an inner coercion to write letters to friends who are from the same language community, in Luvale which is one of the "officially approved" languages in that country, then this is an example for such internalization.
