Death ‘awayfrom home.’ A case study of Cameroonian immigrants living in Cape Town South Africa.Fru, Terence Fontoh January 2019 (has links)
Magister Artium - MA / Death is an everyday occurrence for many urban Africans living in South Africa, and it is
expressed through the everyday management of financial and social networks. The purpose of
this study is to investigate what happens to African migrants, particularly the Ngemba people of
Cameroon living in Cape Town when they die “away from home”. In this study, I will be
exploring the steps followed, the rites that are performed, perceptions regarding death and
funerals, as well as the social implications that death has for the group members concerned, and
the various challenges faced when someone dies ‘away from home’. In other to achieve all this, I
used a qualitative research design in which in-depth interviews and participant observation were
administered to sixteen (16) participants.
