development of Zulu radio serial drama and Ntuli's position and contribution to it.
Finally, there is a review of previous research studies in Aincan Languages on radio
drama.

trilogy by trilogists like Hitchcock, Bakhtin, Asimov and Norris are discussed in
detail. This is followed by an in-depth analysis of the plot structures of
Isivumelwano, Jsivumelwano Esisha and Ngenxa Yesivumelwano.

between the actors and characters. Different methods of character portrayal are

themes are dealt with.
