A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of MA in Communication Science at the University of Zululand, 2002. / In this thesis I am going to look at attitude study theory and then will define the terms which will be presented, in my literature chapter to help with reading and understanding of my thesis. The literature, which informs this study, is on atritiiHinal study as presented by scholars of this field. From this I will use the methods suggested to study attitudes of the uMlazi matriculants towards isiZulu as a school subject. My focus is on isiZulu language, which is one of the official languages; this will then bring in the issues of language poBcy in Black South African schools. IsiZulu will then be compared with the dominant language, which is spoken by the participants of the research, and all the official languages will be investigated if they are being used. The language policy will be investigated from the colonial era up to post democratic South Africa to establish if it has changed or not. Then the new language policy is to be investigated if it is implemented or not, if not suggest how the languages could be uplifted to promote muhilingualism which is the requirement of the Language policy-act of 1996.
