“…Culture has been defined from a variety of standpoints. There is no one agreed upon definition of culture to the extent that Mulholland (1991) rightly states that culture is a concept that has been difficult to define. Culture is taken as the sum of special knowledge that accumulates in any large social group and is the common property of all its members.…”

It is widely believed that education is a socially situated cultural process. Generally, schools are regarded as the key educational institutions. However, education can be formal, non-formal and informal, based on media-driven communicative settings. These types coalesce within formal institutions of learning. This study focuses on the transmission of cultural knowledge in informal spaces such as the bathroom. It argues that graffiti is a medium that offers students a unique communicative dynamic enabling an open engagement with issues they would otherwise not do elsewhere. It facilitates the transmission of vital cultural knowledge/literacy whose length and breadth cannot be adequately exhausted by the formal school curriculum alone. Bathroom interactions, therefore, bring a different dynamic to cultural education in learning institutions. Sexuality, hygiene and decency, among others, are negotiated from a strictly student perspective. A trip to the bathroom therefore marks a crucial transition from formal to informal education, and back.

“…It is largely a problem of educational curricular, a situation that requires an immediate solution. Mulholland (1991) suggests that culture is a set of shared and enduring meaning, values, and beliefs that characterize national, ethnic, or other groups and orient their behaviour. From this stand point it becomes clear that culture shapes and orients individual behaviour in a nation, community or industry.…”

Knowledge production remains a game of power. Over the years certain discourses have tried to naturalise and reinforce the position that world's best practices are defined as Eurocentric and henceforth anything that is African is viewed as 'traditional' , 'barbaric' and 'bush'. The European 'supremacy' in knowledge production has been emphasised across disciplines and human resource (HR) management is no exception. It has been argued that 'true' human resource management policies were 'invented' by Europeans. This has however, fanned discord in industrial relations in Zimbabwean organisations. Employing a theoretical and literature review approach, this research critically explores the extent to which harmony and productivity can be achieved in Zimbabwe if managers adopt the 'true' Zimbabwean cultural values and allow them to shape their managerial thinking. This study contends that best HR practices are as old as humanity itself in the African society and Zimbabwean culture in particular. This study explores concepts such as, team work, quality circles, total quality management, works councils, respect, harmony, collective bargaining, which have been part and parcel of the Zimbabwean culture since time immemorial and which are important as markers of HR practices.

“…collective programming of the mind which distinguishes the members of one group from another", which is passed from generation to generation, it is changing all the time because each generation adds something of its own before passing it on. In another context, culture is a set of shared and continuing for its values, beliefs that shaped identity, ethnic or other groups and get used to their behaviours [10]. Cultural indulgence denotes that individuals who feel that they are blessed and happy over self-controlled of their participation in life activities and practices.…”

Humankind's identity is symbolized by our food choices. The same goes to what we do not eat nor drink. In addition, our food communicates our identity, beliefs, cultural and social backgrounds to others. It tells a whole lot about a culture as can be told from knowing the origins of ingredients to presentation and plating. In sum, Peranakan food commonly referred to as Nyonya cuisine, while create a new renaissance in the food and beverage, and tourism industry, also communicates the epistemology of that Creole subculture; often indulging both the palate and thirst of cultural awareness.
