• Exposure of children to sex-for-money arrangements as a means of survival. 104 Photo 6: Backyard lean-to, Bulawayo, June 2006. 10. The displaced from Killarney and Ngozi Mine: The failure of forced rural relocation to change people’s urban identity Most of those displaced when the Bulawayo informal settlements at Killarney and Ngozi Mine were destroyed are, quite simply - now back at Killarney and Ngozi Mine, or in another urban setting. However, they have been severely impoverished and highly stressed by events of the last year. Some have moved seven times or more, and have had shelters repeatedly knocked down. All have lost possessions and many have lost their health. A distressing number have died. In the last report, the authors related events around the destruction of these informal settlements, the taking in of the displaced by the churches, and then the abduction of the displaced from the churches by the police. 1,400 displaced were dumped in rural areas in July, even though many of them were not originally from a rural area, having been born in Killarney and being of foreign descent. 4,000 people from Victoria Falls were returned to rural homes on a voluntary basis by the churches in conjunction with authorities. The churches made a huge effort to keep track of people displaced to rural districts, and to keep them supplied with food. Some families were given doors and thatch to help them build before the rains. Some were given seeds for farming. School transfers were organised for some. 104 For example: seven children (grade 7 and below) shared the main house; 3 female relatives who depend on “handouts from their boyfriends” have now moved from the destroyed backyard room into the kitchen (4.29m2 per person before, 3m2 per person now). 50
