Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of African Languages in the Faculty of Arts at the University of Zululand, South Africa, 2003. / The life and work of Doctor Sibiya, Peter Qwabe and Isaac Tlou deals with their life stories and four compositions of each. The three human subjects are used in a symbolic form to depict the struggle of people from disadvantaged communities who despite of all odds, emerged and succeeded to give back to their communities through their compositions and expertise in choral music by running choral music workshops and adjudicating in choral music competitions. The first chapter is the introductory perspective of this research, which includes the explanation of music as common factor among the three oral sources, factors to be born in mind when conducting a research with oral sources, motivation, aims and the role of music in African societies of the study and research methodology. The second chapter deals with the effects of the South African policies before 1994 to Sibiya, Qwabe and Tlou as well as other black South Africans in order to understand and appreciate the full extent of circumstances from which these contributors emerged. A brief historic review of South Africa, and the extent of the educational deprivation of the black people will be looked into. The third chapter deals with the life and work of Doctor Sibiya in which four of his compositions are transcribed in both tonic solfa and staff notation

Student Number : 9812661N - MA dissertation - School of Art - Faculty of Humanities / This research focuses on change and the effects of economic development on the design and production of the traditional grass mat made by women in Swaziland. The visual quality of the traditional Swazi grass mat has transformed. The mat making technique remains unchanged, as does the main raw material in the construction of the mat, but now the traditional grass is accompanied by an artificial element: sweet wrappers, creating shimmering new designs. The technology of making grass mats has been revolutionised with the introduction of the Imbongolo mat-making frame. These changes represent an example of a dynamic art form in the context of the deep-rooted tradition of Swazi material culture. Through interviews with a number of mat-makers and a comprehensive collection of mat samples gathered over an extended period these modifications have been recorded and evaluated in terms of the producers’ response to economic constraints, and the availability of new plastic materials.

Widowhood is the process of continuing to live after loosing one's spouse. The process does pose its own special and unique challenges to the surviving spouse. Guided by a true story of a rural-based Swazi widow this study explored the „lived experiences" of Swazi widows in one community in the Manzini region in the Kingdom of Swaziland. The study sought to propose a model for empowering widows with knowledge to assist them how to deal especially with challenges they faced in the hands of their in-laws. To explore their personal realities during the mourning period a qualitative approach was selected. A purposive sample was utilized to conduct interviews with participants. Face-to-face individual interviews that were guided by a semi-structured interview guide were used. Data were also obtained from two key informants, a High Court Judge and a traditional authority. Data were analyzed thematically and themes were generated. The themes reflected challenging times experienced by Swazi widows as they interacted with their in-laws who took advantage of the demise of their sons and deliberately interpreted the Swazi traditional customs to their advantage. Thus the widows became disinherited their rightful share of the estate. These findings have implications for educating Swazi widows in assisting them to know and stand up for their rights and also equipping Ministers of the Gospel with pastoral care skills. Legal experts need to be involved in educating both Swazi widows and Ministers of the Gospel. / Dissertation (MA (Theology))--University of Pretoria, 2016. / Practical Theology / MA (Theology) / Unrestricted
