Abstract
The purpose of this research is to probe into and describe in
detail the various changes which have occurred in the courtship
and marriage practices of members of the Mkhwanazi tribe of
the oNgoye district, in KwaZulu, ever since they came into
•contact with western culture towards the end of the nineteenth
century. The point of departure in this study is the premise
that as the entire cultural fabric of the tribe has been inter=
acting with western culture for several decades, courtship and
marriage have not been left unaffected.
