Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of IsiZulu at the University of Zululand, 2002. / The study aims at re-awakening the interest in the places of importance in KwaZulu Natal, interest in the revival of the cultural traditions, the beliefs, food preparations, crafts and being aware of the job opportunities offered by the government's plans about the Lebombo Spatial Development Initiative (LSDI). The underlying motive of the study is to create awareness that KwaZulu Natal is, and forever will be a tourist attraction destination. It is aimed at encouraging the people in their communities to be involved in one way or another in creating a conducive atmosphere that will make tourists feel welcome in KwaZulu Natal. The satisfied tourists will keep on coming back again and again which will in turn create job opportunities and result in alleviation of poverty and unemployment in our province. Speaking of the benefits of tourism, Gill (1996: vi) says in his preface; Tourism today has been acknowledged as an industry, and both the government and the private sector have planned tourism as an essential component of their economics. For further development tourism needs planning investment and scientific study. This acknowledgement of tourism as a viable industry by the government has been shown by our Government by structuring a number of Spatial Development Initiatives, such as Lebombo SDI which is part of this study. This study serves to show that there should be a link m a relationship between history and tourism and that the two can work wonders in contributing towards the development of the country's economy. Natural resources and the places of historical importance make KwaZulu Natal the most attractive tourist destination of the world, with its World Heritage site at St Lucia. KwaZulu Natal offers everything in a rich variety - its mountains and bills, valleys, scenic beauty, monuments and memorials, traditional arts and dances, fairs and festivals and dozens of other precious things that make the country a mosaic of living traditions. So the objective of this study is to remind the people in their communities that, as schools today speak of outcomes based education with its emphasis on entrepreneurial skills and job creation rather than job-seeking, so does the government speak of mobilizing communities to work together to bring about change and better life for all its citizens. It is therefore the objective of this study to make the communities aware that it is not too late to start being involved in building our communities. Let us dream and have high hopes and visions for the future of our province, our country and ultimately our future generations.

Popular culture helps construct, define, and impact our everyday realities and must be taken seriously because popular culture is, simply, popular. Communication Perspectives on Popular Culture brings together communication experts with diverse backgrounds, from interpersonal communication, business and organizational communication, mass communication, media studies, narrative, rhetoric, gender studies, autoethnography, popular culture studies, and journalism. The contributors tackle such topics as music, broadcast and Netflix television shows, movies, the Internet, video games, and more, as they connect popular culture to personal concerns as well as larger political and societal issues. The variety of approaches in these chapters are simultaneously situated in the present while building a foundation for the future, as contributors explore new and emerging ways to approach popular culture. From case studies to emerging theories, the contributors examine how popular culture, media, and communication influence our everyday lives. / https://dc.etsu.edu/etsu_books/1131/thumbnail.jpg
