This study explored the impact of the conflict on the teaching and learning processes in Anglican schools through the two case studies. The researchers adopted a case study approach and used a qualitative research design. The findings confirm that the both students and staff were seriously affected by the conflict and the teaching and learning processes were affected too. What the teachers and students went through during the conflict might have long term effects which the church leaders might not be aware of at the moment. The conflict is said to have been resolved but there was evidence that the institutions still have serious divisions that are hampering progress and development and need urgent attention. The conflict resulted in myriads of problems that affected the teaching and learning processes in the Anglican schools. Teachers, non-teaching staff, and students were affected in different ways. Lessons were disrupted, staff and students were intimidated and victimised. They suffered physical, psychological, cultural and structural violence. The study recommends setting up of Truth and Reconciliation Commission to deal with the damage done by this long-term conflict.

The book further deals with critical questions raised by students on whose problem or who is responsible for all the messy Zimbabwe finds itself in.

The research questions were what are the major reasons for the failure of peacebuilding and reconciliation processes and the role of state and non-state actors Matebeleland North and South Provinces. The design of the study was qualitative because the topic dealt with emotions and feelings of the people who were involved in the conflict. The major findings indicate that the government has not been sincere in peacebuilding efforts and reconciliation was not properly implemented and that the communities in Matebeleland Provinces remain divided. There were no laws that were instituted to deal with reconciliation and peacebuilding matters. In addition, properties of the opposition PF ZAPU were confiscated by the government in 1982 under the pretext of arms caches discovery. The study concludes that the government has not made any apology for all the killings which were done by government forces. The study recommends that government should make full acknowledgement of all the killings and compensate the regions affected. In addition, there is need to establish Truth and Reconciliation Commission to handle all the cases of violence.
