Ijenda namasiko kumanoveli wesiZuluMalaza, Thembekile Gladys 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2002. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study examines the portrayal of women characters in two postcolonial
Zulu novels: Asikho ndawo bakithi (1996) and Itshwe/e lempangele (1998).
The study is approached from a feminist theoretical framework and focuses
on gender and culture. The study concentrates on patriarchal relations
because they are most widely used as the foundation for a specifically
feminist investigation of sexual relations.
The study examines two postcolonial novels with the objective to establish
how the writers portray women characters after the introduction of the 1994
democratic dispensation in South Africa. In the past, women characters were
portrayed as stereotypes: they were either too bad or too good in line with the
dictates of the patriarchal society where women are expected to take a
subservient role, and men to assume the dominant role. This has made the
character of women in fiction exaggerated and one-dimensional in the sense
that the women characters do not develop, nor do they behave in various
respects like normal human beings. The women characters are often victims
of several circumstances caused by patriarchy and other socio-economic
factors. The aim of analisying the two novels is to compare them and observe
how women, as literary characters are portrayed.
The study found that in Asikho ndawo bakithi women characters are portrayed
as normal women who respond appropriately to the challenges of their
environment. Yet the fact that they live in abject poverty and are homeless,
make them victims of the social ills that take their lives cheap. This situation
creates tremendous stress and pressure on their lives and leads to gradual
moral degradation beyond their control.
Itshwele lempangele can be viewed as a post-apartheid novel because it has
democritised images of women characters. For example, Ndelebuli teaches
his father, Sonqisha that he should never beat up his mother whenever they
have problem. Ndelebuli thus becomes an epitome of a young man who treats
maidens and married women with dignity, respect and tolerance in the novel.
Another issue addressed in the novel is that the women characters portrayed belong to multicultural environments and the exemplary marriages are crosscultural.
Of the two novels, Itshwele lempangele presents images of liberated women
whereas in Asikho ndawo bakithi, women characters are portrayed as victims
of the legacy of the social ills of the apartheid era. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie ondersoek die uitbeelding van vroue in twee post-koloniale
novelles in Zulu: Asikho ndawo bakithi (1996) en Itshwe/e lempange/e (1998).
Die studie word benader vanuit 'n feministiese toeretiese raamwerk en fokus
op gender en kultuuraspekte soos gemanifesteer in die novelles. Die studie
fokus op patriargale verhoudinge omdat dit mees algemeen gebruik word as
basis vir 'n spesifiek-feministiese ondersoek van seksuele verhoudinge.
Die studie ondersoek twee postkoloniale novelles met die doel om vas te stel
hoe die skrywers vroue-karakters voorstel na die invoer van die demokratiese
bestel in 1994 in Suid-Afrika. In die verlede is vrouekarakters uitgebeeld as
stereotipes: hulle was of net positief of net negatief uitgebeeld, in Iyn met die
patriargale gemeenskap waarin van vroue verwag is om In onderdanige rol te
he, en van mans verwag is om In dominante rol te he. Dit het die karakters
van vroue in fiksie een-dimensioneel gemaak in die sin dat vrouekarakters nie
ontwikkel nie en dat hulle in verskeie opsigte nie optree soos normale mense
nie. Die vrouekarakters was dikwels slagoffers van verskillende omstandighede
wat toegeskryf kan word aan patriargie en sosio-ekonomiese faktore.
Die doelstelling met die analise van die twee novelles is om hulle te vergelyk
en vas te stel hoe vroue as llterere karakters uitgebeeld word.
Daar is bevind in die studie dat in Asikho ndawo bakithi vrouekarakters as
normale vroue uitgebeeld word wat gepas reageer op die uitdagings van die
omgewing. Nietemin veroorsaak die feit dat vroue in uiterste armoede leef en
dikwels nie huise het nie, dat hulle slagoffers word van sosiale euwels wat
hulle lewens goedkoop maak. Hierdie toestand veroorsaak groot spanning en
druk op hulle lewens en dit lei tot morele agteruitgang buite hulle beheer.
Itshwe/e lempange/e kan beskou word as In post-apartheid novelle omdat dit
die beeld van vroue gedemokratiseer het. Die karakter Ndelebuli leer
byvoorbeeld vir sy vader dat hy nooit sy moeder moet slaan nie, watter
probleem hulle ookal mag he. Ndelebuli word die toonbeeld in die novelle van
hoe jong meisies en vroue met respek en waardigheid behandel moet word. In
Verdere verskynsel wat aangespreek word in die novelle is dat die vrouekarakters wat uitgebeeld word vanuit multikulturele omgewings kom en
dat goeie voorbeelde van huwelike kruiskultureel is.
Itshwele lempangele bied In uitbeelding van bevryde vroue, terwyl Asikho
ndawo bakithi vroue uitbeeld as slagoffers van die nalatenskap van die
sosiale euwels van apartheid.

A post-apartheid Zulu novels : a critical analysis of didactic elements in J C Buthelezi's novels.January 2007 (has links)
The study addresses the reasons why Buthelezi is regarded as a post-apartheid writer. Among other reasons that are discussed in this study is that in his novels, he touches on some of the issues that were not dealt with in the apartheid period. It also looks at the didactic elements that are conveyed in Buthelezi's novels as far as the post-apartheid period is concerned. Advantages and disadvantages of the post-apartheid period to South Africans are also examined, one of the very important disadvantages being the loss of the spirit of ubuntu among the African people while they try to move on with times. / Thesis (Ph.D.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2007.

This research on the subject is one of a few written in the medium of isiZulu. Further, it is one of the few conducted on masikandi music in this depth. It identifies and analyzes strategies used by Zulu masikandis in their music.
The researcher in this study demonstrated that Zulu masikandis comprise males and females and that at present male masikandis are dominating this genre. Besides that, the study also revealed two categories of Zulu masikandis: those who recorded their music and those who could not. The researcher demonstrated also that Zulu masikandis use different effective strategies for different purposes in their music. He demonstrated that Zulu masikandis use different strategies to introduce themselves to their followers and their counterparts, to brag about certain members of their groups, to coin and use nicknames, to reveal their themes, to reveal their emotions, to use various types of imagery and to use strategies which are the results of influences of factors like Christianity, riddles, folktales and praise-poems.
Some of the challenges are that other masikandis find it very difficult to record their music owing to financial problems, other producers are corrupt, as masikandis are influential figures in public there is a danger that they can mislead the public by coining and spreading unstandardized Zulu expressions through their songs.
Finally, it must be pointed out that the study of masikandi music, particularly strategies used by Zulu masikandis, makes a great contribution to the study of literature. The reason is that it introduces a new path, the different strategies used by Zulu masikandis in their music, categories of Zulu masikandis, nicknames for Zulu masikandis which are coined by themselves and sometimes
by members of the public and different methods of collecting data to be used by other researchers. Therefore, it is worthy of publication. / African Languages / D. Litt. et Phil. (African Languages)

Widows and the abuse of husbands’ property: an analysis in the novels Ifa lenkululeko and Ifa ngukufa / Abafelokazi nokuhlukunyezwa kwempahla yababayeni babo: ukuhlaziywa kwamanoveli Ifa lenkululeko kanye ne-Ifa ngukufa / Bahlolohadi le tshebediso e mpe ya thepa ya banna: manollo dibukeng tsa dipale Ifa lenkululeko le Ifa ngukufaMcira, Malefu Renia 11 1900 (has links)
Bibliography: leaves105-117 / Summaries followed the Bibliography / The study investigates the abuse of husbands’ property by widows in the two selected isiZulu
novels Ifa ngukufa and Ifa lenkululeko, which is found to have a huge impact on children and
family members. The study presents the causes of the abuse of husbands’ property, the course
of action of abusing husbands’ property and the consequences thereof. The content analytical
approach has been used to analyse the two novels. The analysis reveals that some of the
causes of the abuse of husbands’ property by widows are the widows’ carelessness, weakness,
lack of respect, stress and laziness. In both literary texts, widows abuse their husbands’
property with their new lovers. As persons living in modern times, they do not respect the
African cultural practices. They refuse to wear mourning clothes for their late husbands, as
required by the African culture. Instead, they find new lovers within a few days of their
husbands’ death, and invite them to stay in their husbands’ houses. The study highlights how
easily some people, including widows, can be influenced by other peoples’ cultures. They do
not respect their parents, children and the in-laws; and do not pay attention to the wellbeing of
their children. When the money is depleted, the new lovers go back to their families. The
study further reveals that, after the departure of the new lovers, the widows realise that they
(new lovers) were not in love with them, but were after their properties. The presence of the
new lovers in the widows’ lives has a negative effect on family members. Consequently, the
relationship between the widows and the in-laws, parents and children suffers. The
investigation is concluded by presenting recommendations that will help widows to avoid
tricksters from robbing them of their property. The study is of great value to children who
become the victims of circumstance. / Ucwaningo luphenya ngokuhlukunyezwa kwempahla yabayeni ngabafelokazi kumanoveli

kwempahla yabayeni ngabafelokazi ukunganaki kwabafelokazi, ubuthakathaka, ukungabi

bahlukumeza impahla yabayeni babo namashende abo amasha. Njengabantu abaphila
ezikhathini zanamuhla, abayihloniphi imikhuba yamasiko ase-Afrika. Bayenqaba ukugqoka

Esikhundleni salokho, bathola amashende amasha ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ngemuva nje
kokushona kwabayeni babo, futhi bagcine behlala nabo ezindlini zabayeni babo. Ucwaningo
luqhakambisa ukuthi kulula kanjani ukuthi abanye abantu, kufaka phakathi nabafelokazi,
bathonywe ngamasiko abanye abantu. Abahloniphi abazali babo, izingane kanye nabasemzini
lapho bendele khona; futhi abanaki ngisho nenhlalakahle yezingane zabo. Lapho imali
isiphelile, amashende abo amasha abuyela emindenini yabo. Ucwaningo luqhubeka
ngokuveza ukuthi, ngemuva kokuhamba kwamashende abo amasha, abafelokazi bayabona
ukuthi wona (amashende amasha) abengabathandi, kepha babelandela impahla yabo. Ukuba
khona kwamashende amasha ezimpilweni zabafelokazi kunomthelela omubi kumalungu
omndeni. Ngenxa yalokho, ubudlelwano phakathi kwabafelokazi nabasemzini, abazali
nezingane buyaphazamiseka. Uphenyo luphethwa ngokwethula izincomo ezizosiza
abafelokazi ukuthi bagweme abakhohlisi ekubaphuceni impahla yabo. Ucwaningo lubaluleke
