Résumé
Cet article examine le phénomène largement répandu de Nichekeleko sur les ponts Weigh (WB)
en Zambie. La compréhension commune de Nichekeleko par le peuple zambien est que c’est
de la corruption; allant de la corruption, le vol, le détournement de fonds, la gratification au
favoritisme. Sociologiquement, le phénomène a été conçu comme un acte d’échange social dans
le contexte des relations de pouvoir par les acteurs qui s’y engagent. La notion de relations
de pouvoir de Foucault et les concepts de «pratique» et de «champs» de Bourdieu ont fourni
le cadre théorique de l’étude. Le pouvoir était considéré comme un système et un réseau de
relations englobant toute la société plutôt qu’une relation entre l’opprimé et l’oppresseur.
Méthodologiquement, cette étude était basée sur la recherche de méthodes mixtes; la plus
grande partie implique l’observation des participants, des interviews et l’administration des
questionnaires L’argument dans cet article est que l’échec d’analyser la corruption d’un point de vue linguistique
et philosophique implicite dans ‘Nichekeleko’ réduit la pratique à la simple violation de la loi ou des
règles morales. Un examen plus approfondi de la corruption d’un point de vue linguistique nous
fournit des dimensions essentielles de la pratique, pourquoi et comment elle a persisté en Zambie
