CALA CONTEXT
Seasonal migrant labor in Zimbabwe is strongly etched in History with a large number of them now citizens in the country, often they are
enticed by supposedly better remuneration. In most cases these migrants end up being exploited and ill-treated, something that it is
reminiscent of the Slave trade. Unfortunately this has impacted local communities. Learners are therefore tasked to carry out a research in
their communities to illustrate these impacts. In carrying out this research one is able to draw some parallels from the Slave Trade. It is
against this background that this CALA is being carried out. The CALA also develops and sharpens the researcher’s interpretation and
analysis skills.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Most of the able bodied and productive age group has left the local community in search of employment and a majority of them are
employed in semi-slavery conditions at their work stations. In view of this the learners are tasked to carry out an investigation in their
local community on the impact that has risen as a result of this situation. For maximum benefit, the cala has been split into four parts as
follows:
PART A
Sourcing reading material concerning the history of migrant labour in Zimbabwe and in the local community
PART B
Reading a variety of sources concerning the migrant labour in Zimbabwe and the local community
PART C
