The portrayal of women in Xitsonga literature with special reference to South African novels, poems and proverbsMachaba, Rirhandzu Lillian 09 1900 (has links)
The new dawn that brought about democracy in South Africa in 1994 and the social and political experiences have since changed the expectations of women’s roles in society. Literature is the important part of this experience because it mirrors and interprets the experience from the point of view of those who write about it. This study, therefore, attempts to examine the image of women in Xitsonga literature, to investigate whether there is a link in the expected cultural roles of Vatsonga women and their roles as characters in Xitsonga literature; and whether there is a shift in the way women characters are portrayed to represent the current social and political reality.
The study employs African feminist literary criticism as a tool in critically analysing the various literary genres. It also adopts purposive sampling of Xitsonga novels, poetry and proverbs that have women characters in them and analyse how these women characters have been portrayed. The naming of female characters is examined in relation to their roles in the texts and the titles of the texts are also investigated and critically analysed to establish whether they portray any gender stereotypes. The themes of the selected texts are also examined to establish if there is any gender biasness. Both male and female-authored texts have been investigated to explore whether male authors depict women differently from their female counterparts.
The study concludes that there is gender-biasness in the manner in which women characters are depicted that do not reflect the current political and social order, however, some women authors, unlike their male counterparts do not reflect gender-biasness in their depiction of female characters. / African Languages / D. Litt. et Phil. (African Languages)

A comparative study of satire and humour as communicative strategies in the poems of four Tsonga poetsRisenga, David Jinja 11 1900 (has links)
This study involves an investigation into the use of satire and humour as strategies of
communication. The poetry of four Tsonga poets selected for study includes these
strategies which are investigated for the purpose of determining the extent to which
they function as strategies of communication.
The study consists of four chapters which can be summarized as follows:
CHAPTER 1 contains the introduction, aim, scope and method of approach of the
entire study. Theories and definitions of satire and humour are also presented here.
In CHAPTER 2 the poems selected for study are analysed in terms of invective,
subtle and light-hearted satire.
CHAPTER 3 focuses attention on the style of presentation of comic and derisive
humour.
CHAPTER 4 highlights and elucidates the most significant findings of the study. The
most competent poet of the four at using satire and humour is identified and his
excellence declared and justified / African Languages / M.A. (African languages)
