‪Middle-class residents of Zimbabwe’s capital, Harare, undertake a range of daily activities intended to protect them from crime in those places that they perceive as putting them at risk. As part of these protective activities, they develop or refuse relationships with domestic labourers, vendors and transport operators with whom they share neighbourhood spaces, which I variously term “spacetimes of disorder” and “spacetimes of mistrust”. These relations produce a dilemma for those middle-class Zimbabweans who are also Baptist Christians. Harare’s Baptists are committed to a vision of all humans as highly valued and also as morally degraded, in a world equally fallen. This produces a tension between, on the one hand, middle-class self-protective activities and, on the other, a Christian imperative to extend care in a sinfully disordered society. The result is a complex sociality in which negative moral valuations spur cross-class relationships. The paper draws from anthropological theories of spacetime and work on social otherness to explore the negative valuations that relational life may entail. By focusing on social relations generated out of suspicion, and out of beliefs in the immorality of persons, I take an approach based on “perspectival moralism”, which highlights the moral situatedness of neighbourhood relations in space and time.‪
