Data Sources and Methodology in Part One deals in detail with the data collection and collation process in the 2 case
study areas. To summarise, data used consists of archival CCJP material, information extracted from the media,
academic studies, and interviews conducted in the 1990s. All of these sources are archival, apart from the interviews:
these latter serve to illustrate not only the past, but current perceptions of the past and current consequences of past
events.
1.ARCHIVAL DATA - THE CHRONICLE
A summary of events specifically in Nyamandlovu/Tsholotsho), as revealed by The Chronicle,
Bulawayo's daily newspaper, is given here. This tends to highlight dissident activity, and is a
useful counterpoint to data from other sources.
