Thesis (MA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2002 / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study is divided into five chapters. The first chapter which marks the introductory
chapter deals with the general introduction to the entire study, the scope of the study,
statement of the aim and objectives of this study, also looks at the research methods and
gives St J Page Mbalana Yako's brief biographical sketch. The second chapter provides a
brief theoretical background to the study of poetry. This forms the basis upon which the
entire study will rest as it provides different poetic devices and stylistics, which reveal what
makes poetry.
The third and fourth chapters concentrate on a critical evaluation of Yako's poems. The
poetry, which is presented in these chapters, is selected from Yako's anthology entitled
Ikhwezi. It represents a particular genre from a wide range of poetic forms that Yako has
written. Chapter three concentrates on educators and the achievements of certain
individuals. Chapter four concentrates on traditional leaders. It is in this chapter that Yako
displays his expertise in the use of excellent and appropriate poetic devices and stylistics
in his poetry.
The fifth chapter contains general conclusions drawn from the entire study. Translations
are provided for each poem and are contained in the appendix that is found at the end of
this study, which is immediately followed by the bibliography.
Yako's endeavour to bring light to the nation through poetry is admirable. Further research
will unearth more art and craft in this author's poetry. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie is verdeel in vyf hoofstukke. Die eerste hoofstuk bied In algemene inleiding
