Women in transition : a socio-religious study of the changing role of rural Hlubi womenMensah-Aborampah, Osei 03 1900 (has links)
The study examines the socio-religious role of women in traditional African societies using
the Hlubi of Qumbu, Transkei as a case study.
Qualitative methodology was used to look at Hlubi women holistically in their past and the
situations in which they find themselves today.
Primary sources of African traditional religion such as myths, proverbs and taboos were also
used in assessing the socio-religious role of Hlubi women.
The following observations were made about Hlubi women:
1. They do not constitute an homogenous group.
2. Sexual division of labour allocates to women the responsibility of sustaining the
household.
3. They have multiple workloads: namely, survival, household and income generating
tasks.
4. They experience ambivalence regarding their roles - responsibility without proper authority.
5. Hlubi women share with their male counterparts the role of traditional healers.
6. In spite of increased involvement of women in church activities they are still denied
leadership positions. / Religious Studies and Arabic / M.A. (Religious Studies)

The material culture of Hlubi male initiation: a case study from Matatiele, Eastern Cape, South AfricaZulu, John January 2016 (has links)
A dissertation submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the award of the Degree of Master of Social
Sciences in the Department of Anthropology
Faculty of Humanities
University of the Witwatersrand
March 2016 / This is a study of the material culture associated with male circumcision rituals among Hlubi
people in the Matatiele region of South Africa’s Eastern Cape Province. In recent years social
scientists and public commentators have paid increasing attention to male circumcision in the
context of controversies around ‘botched’ circumcisions, on the one hand, and the growing
evidence, on the other hand, that male circumcision plays a role in restricting the spread of
HIV. Much less attention has been paid, however, to a vital issue that underpins all these
concerns: what materials give male circumcision its distinctive qualities as a cultural process,
and how do various kinds of participants and observers think about those materials in relation
to other domains of material culture, e.g. medical circumcision. This study will approach the
topic through unstructured interviews conducted with various groups of informants / MT2017

The theological education by extension (T.E.E.) programme of the Anglican church of KenyaOriedo, Simon John 03 1900 (has links)
This evaluation study was conducted to determine whether or not the Theological Education by Extension (TEE) Programme, of the Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK) is a suitable means of training lay church workers for pastoral ministry.
The research was carried out to asses the TEE Programme already in progress. As the Anglican Church of Kenya continues to grow, there is need for training of church workers, using a cost effective programme, without compromising the quality of the church workers. The research sampled five out of the twenty-nine ACK Dioceses, in which the TEE Programme is vibrant. In the five dioceses, the research further sampled lay leaders already in the church ministry. The research took the form of cycles in which implementation stages were conducted.
The result of the research was interpreted to draw the conclusion of the purpose of evaluation of the programme. / Open Distance Learning / M. Ed. (Open and Distance Learning

A socio-economic survey of the Amatola Basin: interim report / Development Studies Working Paper, no. 2Bekker, S B, De Wet, C, Manona, C W January 1981 (has links)
Early in 1981, Professor S. Bekker of Rhodes University was invited to attend a meeting of the Amatola Basin Steering Committee of the Agricultural and Rural Development Research Institute (ARDRI) at the University of Fort Hare. At this meeting, Professor Bekker was invited to undertake a socio-economic survey of the Amatola Basin. The Board of the Institute of Social and Economic Research at Rhodes University gave Professor Bekker permission in February 1981 to undertake the research project on condition that it was conducted in the fashion this Institute usually requires. It was subsequently agreed that the survey, known as 'Amatola Basin VII: Socio-economic survey', was to establish the basic demographic, kinship, consumption and employment patterns of the residents of the Amatola Basin. Practices and traditions related to dry land agriculture would also be identified / Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)

Witchcraft in the religion of the Hlubi of Qumbu: focusing on the issues of sickness and healing in the societyOsei, Mensah-Aborampah 30 November 2003 (has links)
This research sought to investigate the impact of a belief in witchcraft as an explanation for all the ills in the Hlubi community and South African societies in general - which becomes a good tool for inadequate governments. Our approach in this study has been interdisciplinary and the utilization of comparative analysis and a combination of phenomenological and qualitative research models. Economic problems create social tensions and are manifested in various ways, including witchcraft craze. The Hlubi scenario found parallels in Europe and America. Witchcraft and ancestors are considered to be the main causes of diseases but nature and ecological or environmental dangers are other factors. Pragmatic and obvious response to such phobias is seen in the protective and preventive devices provided by isangoma, amaqhira, amaxhwere, inyanga and faith healers. It is hypothesized that as long as all existential needs exist in Hlubi society witchcraft will continue to be with us, perhaps forever. / Religious Studies & Arabic / DLITT ET PHIL (REL STUD)
