Forsyth, P. Claiming that Telecel had not been granted a new registration licence, Econet disconnected the rival mobile service provider on the grounds that continued association with it was unlawful. Surprisingly, even after the licence was swiftly renewed, the disconnection subsisted. Econet believes people are and will always be on its side, the same ideology applied by mdc.

In this connection, owing to protracted legal and political struggles experienced by Econet against the ZANU PF government before being granted initial registration licence, the network provider has conveniently been aligned to the opposition MDC political party. This perception is according to Ncube , p. It was said the product is a political product that will be used by Econet to determine voting patterns against a certain party, It was said this was a conspiracy by Econet to send out money to voters and bribe them when the time comes and the governor is part of this conspiracy.

Various economic formulas were developed not only to fire the governor, but also to shut down Econet and Ecocash. In other words, the political contest between the dominant parties has spilled over into the telecommunication sector.

This study, focuses though on persuasive communication 59 A critical evaluation of persuasive communication discourses inspired by celebrity endorsement in the telecommunication sector in Zimbabwe strategies employed by Econet Wireless and NetOne in the electronic media specifically, sponsored Power FM adverts anchored by celebrities. The two protagonists in the mobile industry have employed the use of the celebrity endorsement inspired persuasive communication strategy to have mileage in terms boosting their subscriber bases.

Persuasive communication has been defined variously. From this definition, there is observably the critical element of source that is in this case, a celebrity who packages information and transmits to the receivers listeners through various verbal linguistic strategies. As the persuader, the celebrity manipulates language skills in a bid to sell a product or service.

The underlying question for this study can be easily located in language for a specific purpose realm: What is the nature of the persuasive language used by celebrities selling products and services in the highly competitive mobile industry? This article looks at the discourses used by celebrities to persuade the market to rally behind a specific operator. Celebrity endorsement involves use of celebrities drawn from various facets of life to persuasively communicate on behalf of brands, products or services.

Celebrities are well- known and well-liked personalities within society who presumably evoke their likeness and image toward the sale of a product or service. As Bryne and Breen , p. What celebrities stand for enhances brands and they save valuable time in terms of creating the credibility a company has created in order to build its brands by transferring their values to the brand.

When consumers see a credible celebrity endorsing a product, they think the company must be OK. It is also worth noting that celebrity status has nothing to do with merit per se but it is simply the result of media attention given to an act or person. Classic examples of celebrities include actors, models, sport personalities, real- life heroes and artists.

Communication featuring celebrities is not a new phenomenon but has instead become widespread and a common practice in many organisations. Celebrity endorsements are a way of avoiding anonymity and standing out from the competition in saturated markets. The mobile industry in Zimbabwe can be understood better in terms of this context.

The competition for subscribers among the players is intense as evidenced by persistent launch of new products and promotions which as alluded to earlier have generated antagonism, animosity and disharmony. Ideally, there should be collaboration and coordination between the players.

The thinking seems to be that brands can no longer achieve recognition merely due to the intrinsic quality of their products but breathing of life into them gives them the competitive edge. The linguistic ability and credibility of the persuasive communicator are therefore critical in this study. Persuasive communication marshalled by celebrities has been exploited by many brands 60 A critical evaluation of persuasive communication discourses inspired by celebrity endorsement in the telecommunication sector in Zimbabwe so Econet and NetOne are by no means traversing in uncharted waters.

Erdogan for instance relates to Pepsi which at various stages featured stars Michael Jackson, Madonna and the Spice Girls to leverage appeal. Coca-Cola a rival brand contracted the athlete Michael Jordan for a similar function. At some stage when there was so much negative publicity around the highly documented pesticide issues in both Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola brands, celebrities Aamir Khan and Sachin Tendulkar respectively were contracted to do high-profile damage control and persuasively communicate messages of product safety and purity to the restive market.

Nike and Adidas for instance are global brands locked up in intense competition as evidenced in contests to kit national football teams dotted around the globe. Celebrity power operates on the philosophy that humans are by nature social creatures. As such, even at tender ages, they take cues on how to behave by both observing even listening to actions of and striving to please those whose opinions they value.

Results of celebrity endorsement are however variable as they are dependent on many factors, which include choice of celebrity, media programmes and credibility gaps. Theoretical Framework The area being investigated is relatively new with very little literature available making it imperative to rely not on a single theoretical framework.

Also, given the two-fold dimension of the current study, which is focus on celebrity principle per se and manipulation of language for persuasive communication purposes, a multidisciplinary approach is justified.

Key tenets of the Rhetorical theory steeped in Aristotelian tradition provide framework on celebrity endorsement. This is so in terms of the tripartite concept of proof, consisting of ethos ethical proof , pathos credible proof and logos logical proof.

In terms of ethos celebrities operate within the confines of honesty, truthfulness and integrity. As persuaders, they ideally do not go overboard and pronounce qualities beyond the scope of brands promoted. In manipulating the persuasive language, they presumably do not mislead by disseminating falsehoods.

As for pathos, the celebrities as persuaders stir emotions of the listeners by making reference to audience values using vivid language and emotion laden words. In the words of De Wet , p. Finally, in terms of logos the expectation is that submissions, claims and observations articulated cohere as they are premised on reason or logic.

In the context of the current study, think of how positive attributes are bolstered through repetition, association and composition as part of the intensification strategy. In a bilingual context persuasive language, presumably in a bid to reach out and capture the wider audience, characteristically exhibits code switching behaviour.

The functionalist perspective conceived by Appel and Mysken , explains motivation for code switching 61 A critical evaluation of persuasive communication discourses inspired by celebrity endorsement in the telecommunication sector in Zimbabwe along a range of functions namely referential, directive, expressive, metalinguistic, poetic and phatic domains. The present study is replete with features of code switching whose understanding significantly draws on the functionalist plane.

Key tenets from the Rhetorical tradition theory, Rank model and the Functionalist perspective provide parameters for data analysis and interpretation. The researcher maintains and amply demonstrates in the foregoing that it is a total persuasive communication package comprising the messenger celebrity endorsement and message linguistic display that is subject to interrogation.

Also aspects of Critical Discourse Analysis CDA particularly the aspect of manipulation enunciated by Van Dijk which unravels connections between language, power and ideology hidden from people, will be related to. Observably, the two pronged study warrants an elaborate analytical framework. Data Collection Data gathering covered the period from August to November, where active listening skills and tape recording FM radio broadcasts were done.

Recording was followed by transcription, interpretation, and subsequent qualitative analysis of the data. Econet and NetOne have traditionally resorted to the use of celebrities when launching brands and, promotions at their anniversary celebrations. Crucially, FM radio station which uses English predominantly as the medium of communication provides the platform to both operators to showcase their brands. On the station Econet endorsed by radio and television personalities Mike Madoda and Barry Manandi, occupies the first five minute slot which runs between am and am from Monday to Friday.

Interestingly, on the same station between am and am Monday to Friday, NetOne anchored by radio personalities Mdhara Zobha and Tendayi Chakanyuka showcases. This study focuses specifically on persuasive communication obtaining on the two five minute slots utilised by the two contestants. The choice is informed by the realisation that it is a platform marked by an even ground in terms of station, time allocation and the number of celebrity endorsers thus making it a balanced contest.

The Econet brand as explained is endorsed by celebrities Mike and Barry who incidentally are both employed by a communication based organisation. On the two programmes, focus is primarily on local and international sport. In the local premiership league, Mike supports Highlanders and Barry is a Dynamos fan. In terms of support base, Dynamos is the biggest football brand followed by Highlanders in the league of sixteen football teams.

This background is essential for it gives an indication of what the leading personalities represent in their engagement as persuasive communicators for a brand. In the context of rhetorical tradition theory, the two pass the credibility test. However, broadening source credibility to encompass expertness and trustworthiness creates challenges. The two anchors constitute a formidable partnership which inspires their constituencies and beyond.

The match report berated the celebrity, a privileged member of the journalism fraternity for stooping so low and base. This potrayal has implications for celebrity endorsement in that certain undesirable meanings are passed on to the brand. Behaviour of celebrities reflects on the brand and an extreme view is that celebrity endorsers may at times become liabilities to the brands they endorse.

As they endorse the Econet brand Mike and Barry have to perform a delicate balancing act. Overplaying the Liverpool mantra, can unwittingly draw brickbats from those aligned to other highly competitive brands such as Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal. Locally, they have to find space for other football teams in their discourses to have wider appeal and more celebrity power.

NetOne brand is endorsed by Mdara Zobha and Tendayi who are both radio personalities. Tendayi featured prominently as an actress in the popular local drama Studio Her role in the controversial drama series Small House Saga ended prematurely over a character role she deemed unpalatable.

Mdara Zobha is also an artiste in his own right. Both celebrities are employed as deejays at Power FM radio station. They are fully fledged professionals who can speak authoritatively on issues thus fulfilling the pathos principle. It is on the same radio station they do voice-over for commercials then revert to normal deejay role.

On this aspect, Mudzivo , p. After this he remained in the studio for normal deejay duty alongside Rumbidzai until end of schedule at 9: 00 am. As they say, familiarity breeds contempt. Multi-brand endorsements by the same celebrity lead to overexposure. As Tripp-Jensen and Carlson note, this practice amounts to commoditisation of celebrities who are willing to endorse anything for big bucks.

If the stampede by brands to be endorsed by Mdara Zobha is motivated by exceeding high popularity level this creates other challenges. For example, if the celebrity is too famous or too popular, then the celebrity will overshadow the product. At some stage Pepsi Cola used Britney Spears at the height of her career in and viewers reportedly remembered her forgetting unfortunately all about the brand.

While it is beyond the scope of this study to unravel cost and benefit analysis of celebrities in persuasive communication, brands should however select celebrities judiciously and discreetly. The following section proceeds to evaluate the various persuasive strategies employed by the identified celebrities. Areas of convergence and divergence in the linguistic strategies will be clearly marked.

Language skills exhibition: Message Critique Code-switching is one common and profound persuasive communication strategy cha- racterising messages of appeal to listeners. A code is a language or a variety of a language. The matrix language ML is the main language in code switched utterances in a number of ways, while the embedded language EL has the lesser role. Code-switching significantly marks interface between Econet and NetOne endorsement messages as illustrated in the examples below: 1.

Chitima cherusununguko, chitima cheChristmas Independence train, Christmas train. Great value you can experience. Amazing free extras. Econet Wireless, exceptional call clarity, minimal disruptions. Tisu tine yese We have it all. NetOne full of surprises, convenient and secure, send receive cash on one wallet.

Code-switching is then used creatively as a linguistic enrichment strategy designed to reach out to the wider audience in the English and Shona discourse communities. The use of code-switching in terms of the metalinguistic function whereby the need to impress potential subscribers through a show of linguistic skills typifies lucidly examples 3 and 4 below: 3.

Free data, walking, talking and breathing Econet dongle. Iyi yanetsa patawindi This is a revelation in town. One wallet from NetOne. Ndadzoka zvakare I have come back again. The metalinguistic function is evidently the most highly pronounced motivation for code switching in both situations. Appel and Mysken highlight the view that the function is a typical feature in public domain among performers, circus directors and market sales people.

Since sellers market their goods and services in public, they may want to impress potential buyers subscribers through astute linguistic skills. Both persuasive communication strategies exhibit the metaphorical or phatic function of code switching. This is evident in the switching that signals certain relationships between interactants. Use of slang illustrates this function. According to Mawadza , p. Flexner and Wentworth weigh in with the view that slang is vivid, forceful and more expressive than standard usage.

This explains why sellers of the competing products and services package messages replete with slang. The point of departure would be the title Mdhara as in Mdhara Zobha which literally means old but is metaphorically used to refer 64 A critical evaluation of persuasive communication discourses inspired by celebrity endorsement in the telecommunication sector in Zimbabwe to men who are not necessarily old. The traditional notion is that mdhara is a towering figure who works and fends for his family.

Zobha whose identity remains a mystery as his public appearances are under the cover of a mask is certainly not an old man but projects the image of a brusque, patronising and wise endorser. The strategy here is that here is a typical mdhara who cannot lead you astray.

It is also interesting to note that Zobha does not refer to anyone else as mdhara. The title is jealously guarded, monopolised and something akin to a protected species, very sacred and sacrosanct to be shared with other mortals. Geertz elaborates that a number of words carry in addition to their normal linguistic meaning, a status meaning. Thus use of mdhara in this context shows that its use has more to do with status than what it normally refers to. Interestingly, it is NetOne endorser, Zobha who frequently resorts to use of slang as part of the persuasive communication strategy.

The following examples illustrate this claim: 5. Yauno lava kuita What you love to do. Five dhombi chete Five dollars only. Manga mune six waya muwallet There was six hundred dollars in the wallet. Send chibhanzi in one wallet Send money in one wallet. True yauri kusasa, ndikutipire True what you say, let me advise you. Airtime jahwi Airtime is plenty. The motivation for the use of slang is to appeal to the young generation which is a discourse community normally associated with this non-standard language.

The communication strategy at play here is to reach out to this discourse community and entice them so that they subscribe to the network. Part of the strategy by NetOne celebrity endorsers involves the use of Shona as matrix language by Zobha while the partner, Tendai uses English as the matrix language. They are employing a double edged sword as part of an elaborate persuasive communication strategy. On the other hand Barry and Mike Econet messages exploit primarily English as matrix language.

Code switching is not marked significantly in the discourses, it is occasional, an exception rather than the norm. However, the endorsers employ a persuasive strategy directed in the first instance to all who can access the matrix language generally, then direct messages to specific audiences through what they call coverage updates. The intention is to rally all stakeholders around the dominant teams under the Econet banner.
