In this dissertation, the researcher has given a historical
analysis of the Gazankulu teacher training between 1969 and
1990. Gazankulu teacher training is for the Shangana-Tsonga
( Machangana-Vatsonga) people. The training of Shangana-Tsonga
people as teachers started in 1893. Gazankulu came into
existence in 1969. Reference was made to the Swiss
Missionaries who started such a training at Rikatla in 1893.
From Rikatla, the training was transferred to Shiluvane area
to be started as a Bible school in 1903. The Bible School was
split into two sections, one of which became Lemana Training
Institution in 1906. The other section was transferred back
to Rikatla.
Lemana served as a training institution for the MachanganaVatsonga
or Tsonga-speaking people from 1906 up to 1968. When
Gazankul u was established in 196 9, its teacher training
commenced in the same year at Ti vumbeni Training School.
Tivumbeni replaced Lemana. Both Lemana and Tivumbeni trained
primary school teachers. The latter school however later
changed to the training of secondary school teachers.
After Tivumbeni, other teacher training institutions like
Orhovelani, Hoxani, Giyani, Shingwedzi and Lemana were
established in this order owing to the need to train teachers
as determined by the Gazankulu Education Department.
Gazankulu teacher training first paid attention to the
training of primary school teachers between 1969 and 1972.
As from 1973 a beginning was made for the training of
secondary school teachers.
Various teachers' certificates were offered in the Gazankulu
teachers' colleges between 1969 and 1984. Teachers' diplomas
replaced those certificates as from 1982. / Educational Studies / M. Ed. (History of Education)
