CALA CONTEXT

There is a marked social decay in your local area as evidence by the increasing substance abuse amongst the local youth, much of this stems
from the abandoning of the social roles that have been in existence since the pre-colonial state formation on the Zimbabwean plateau. Learners

to highlight its impact on women and the differences in the division of labour between pre-colonial and modern society.
