To a greater extend the view that dictatorial tendencies in Africa have their roots in pre-colonial political entities is valid. The way modern day African leaders rule indicates that they have traits of the pre-colonial chiefs’ way of rule. This assertion is evidenced by how the pre-colonial chiefs used to appoint their chiefs, how they appointed the board of elders and advisors which have a resemblance to what the current presidents are doing right now. The pre-colonial African chiefs would die in power and the kings were authoritarian in this way decision making lay in their hands which resembles the way of rule by the current presidents. In pre-colonial Africa resources were confined in the hands of royalty. To show loyalty paying tribute by commoners was one of the customs the pre-colonial states practiced which may be similar to current tax paying.  Trade was also concentrated in the hands of the chiefs and it would mostly benefit them and one would relate to the current situ...

It is indeed a justified argument to postulate that African Traditional Religion played an important role in the Zimbabwe’s war of liberation.

This is because in the eastern part of Zimbabwe there was the influence of spirit mediums who supported the war by participating in the recruitment of the war guerrillas, the spirit mediums are said to have stimulated the revival of the African Religion during the war and in this sense they inspired, informed, gave directions to strategic operations as well unifying the rural community and the war fighters.

McLaughlin also cites a Marxist guerrilla as crediting the mediums with sound military...

Gender inequality refers to unequal treatment or perceptions of individuals based on their gender . It arises from differences in socially constructed gender roles as well as biologically through chromosomes, brain structure, and hormonal differences. When religion plays a role in ―building the social order‖, other social rights are potentially compromised. According to Benson as put by Pope Benedict XV, faced with cultural and political trends that seek to eliminate, or at least cloud and confuse, the sexual differences inscribed in human nature, considering them a cultural construct, it is necessary to recall God's design that created the human being masculine and feminine, with a unity and at the same time an original difference. Benson) This euphemism of gender difference    has been used to justify gender separation, differing roles, and female subordination...

Saniter ( 2016)  alludes that service delivery is closely related to service provision and both of these concepts create a relationship with the customer. On the other hand, business performance is defined as the wide range of indicators that can focus on profitability, growth, or social performance of an organisation (Madhakani, 2012).  It is closely related to the business competencies, which help the company achieve organisational goals based on preset indicators (EU Commission, 2003).  These concepts will be discussed closely in relation to how the Grain Marketing Board (GMB) of Zimbabwe runs its organisation in order to achieve its goals.
