Abstract:
Disability studies have recently created space within the inter-disciplinary divide. Many actors like
religions, government and non-government organizations are working towards shaping, defining,
issues surrounding disability. Results showed that Persons with Disability (PWD) are stigmatized,
excluded and dehumanized in the society. However, there is a gap to move beyond identifying the
challenges affecting PWD into societal inclusion. Accordingly, this entails creating space for PWD
as part of good citizenry. Therefore, this article deconstructs the Shona indigenous culture towards
the inclusion of PWD. In conclusion, this article recommends that a critical utilization of the Shona
cultural perspective of humanness enhances social inclusion |
