This chapter discusses and conceptualises the position of African traditional approaches in OVC care and support in Zimbabwe. Various studies have established that the emergence of contemporary modern childcare approaches, such as the Rights-Based Approach, has led to the condemnation of the Indigenous Knowledge System in OVC care and support as primitive and archaic. Nevertheless, the local rural communities in most of the African countries and Zimbabwe continued espousing their traditional methods of child upbringing, which contradict the Rights-Based Approaches and legislation of the country. In doing so, most of the caregivers within the rural communities are constantly getting incarcerated because of child abuse and maltreatment. Based on the foregoing, this desktop and critical discourse analysis study examines the merits and demerits of recognising Indigenous Knowledge Systems in the upbringing of OVC care and support in a changing society. This chapter uses the Indigenous Knowledge Systems approach and decoloniality as theoretical lenses to discuss and conceptualise the African traditional approaches in OVC care and support in Africa, with a focus on Zimbabwe. In conclusion, this chapter established that while some of the cultural approaches used by local rural communities in child upbringing are not in tandem with child rights, there is a need to recognise the wealth of some Indigenous Knowledge Systems in OVC care and support in Zimbabwe.
