Over the years there has been, in southern Africa, a steady flow of population from overcrowded communal areas into marginal zones which previously were sparsely populated. Usually it is post-independence leadership which encourages and facilitates settlement into these marginal areas currently occupied by minority ethnic groups which have failed to secure political representation since independence. The influx of people in these marginal areas affects the development of existing programmes aimed at sustainable utilisation of natural resources. This article shows how politicians in Zimbabwe facilitate the resettlement of people in to previously sparsely populated Zambezi Valley. In addition, it shows that the huge influx of people into the valley has tended to affect the development of a community-based natural resource management project which was starting to the Tonga people.
