This research report is in two sections. The first section comprises a reflexive and
theoretical essay that provides the background and introduction to the biographical
chapters. The significance and nature of this biography is given. Methods used to
collect data are given, problems encountered are explained. Gaps in the biographical
sections, results of yet inaccessible data, are noted.
The second section is in the creative non-fiction biography genre. It focuses on three
distinct periods of Helen Nontando (Noni) Jabavu’s life: 1961 - 1962 while she was
an editor at The New Strand magazine in England; 1977 while she was a weekly
columnist for the Daily Dispatch newspaper in South Africa; and the current period
starting from her return in May 2002. Each chapter tells the story of her life,
providing texture, colour and depth. The first two biographical chapters also delve
into Noni’s writings, attempting to understand her from these.
