- ItemBeadwork: its cultural and linguistic significance among the South African Ndebele people(2006) Mashiyane, Zwelabo Jacob; Khumalo, L.Z.M.This study is an attempt at making a classiflcatory scrutiny of the art performed by the Ndebele people of South Africa. It sets out to identify and define Ndebele beadwork by looking very closely to its origin, how it survived the dark days of waging wars and made its way into the modern times. In its classification a clear distinction is drawn between the various periods of development and the characteristics of each period are described well. Several attempts have already been made by a number of scholars on the classification and analyses of Ndebele beadwork. In most analyses we find that very brought and general descriptions have been given. One hardly finds any definite patterns and methods used by a Ndebele bead worker. This study has attempted to describe Ndebele beadwork from the moment of planning to the next step when the first grain of bead is worked through the needle and cotton up to where a real shape is formed. It attempts to explain how the intricate Ndebele shapes are formed and coordinated. The use of the various colours is explained in detail. The wrong impression conceived by a big bulk of people that the Ndebele people use colours indiscriminately is corrected. An explanation is given on how some of the popular colours are linked to speech and how these colours are generally interpreted when used on a piece of beadwork article. It further rounds up the typical shapes popular with the Ndebele bead worker. It describes how each shape is formed and used. It also discusses the cultural beliefs and stereotypes attached to the usage of beads and the restrictions accompanying them. The future of Ndebele beadwork is looked into. Recommendations on how the beadwork trade can be turned into a giant industry are made. Postulatxons are made on what route can be followed that can lead small beadwork handlers into some of the world's greatest.
- ItemCircular orientation in performance: a study of the cycle of living and its application in the cultural expression like dance(2009) Ngema, Vusabantu; Khumalo, L.Z.M.This study focuses on the circular orientation in performances by Abathwa and Abantu speaking people of central and southern Africa. This notion is explored through close examination of space, movements, time and objects used during ritual and recreational performances. The study is informed by the meaning contained in symbolism rooted in Africans’ perception of culture, religion, language, cosmos, science and artistic aesthetics. The first chapter is the general introduction to the study covering aspects such as statement of the problem and hypothesis, rationale, methodology and literature review. It also attempts to give an in depth explanation of the African conception of the circle, the centre and the cycle. It explains how these three concepts are applied in social structure, architecture and ritual performances. The chapter also explains the African cyclical perception of time and life. The second chapter looks at the historical perspective of dance performances by indigenous peoples of southern Africa. The histories and the cultural backgrounds of the Khoisan and the Bantu speaking people, form the bases for the interpretation and understanding of dance performances during rituals, recreation and children games. The third chapter investigates the thematic approach towards the interpretation of dance performances by the Bantu and the Khoisan speaking people of Africa. The emphasis is on the theme of gender and sexuality since it is the theme that plays a central role in most of the ritualistic performances among the Africans. While the emphasis on relationship between genders in the performances, the attention is also paid towards the metaphoric, symbolic and paradoxical representations of African world view through the juxtaposition of gender and sexuality during performances. The fourth chapter examines the use of elements of dance performances in relation to themes of fertility (human and soil) and curing. These themes are discussed because they are the themes that apply to all the people being studied where as themes such as animal (hunting) and acrobatic (masks) can only apply to certain peoples not to the other for one reason or the other. The fifth chapter deals with the aesthetic principles as they apply to African dance forms and performances. It focuses on the application of the elements of space and symbolism contained in other elements of performance such as timing, costume, crafts and objects. The sixth chapter is an investigation of the circular orientation in modern performances and children games. It also examines the continuation of the circular orientation in religious worship-performances. The seventh/the last chapter is about the findings, recommendations and the general conclusion of the study.

Lastly it suggests some future research on the study of serial radio drama by showing the important elements as discovered in this study.
- ItemDeveloping learner’s language competence through IsiZulu literary and non-literary text analysis(University of Zululand, 2012) Msweli, Zanele Priscilla; Khumalo, L.Z.M.This study explores developing learner‟s language competence through literary and non-literary texts. The topic of the study: “Developing learner‟s language competence through literary and non-literary analysis is introduced. It is maintained that language educators‟ focus is on analyzing literary texts: poetry, novel, drama, folklore/folktale, short story and essay but not on designing their own texts. The learners should be encouraged to produce their own authentic texts. It is also assumed that non-literary texts are not analysed or developed. There is lack of emphasis on language: sentence construction, for when learners produce their own texts they should know how to construct a sentence. It is also maintained that language usage should also be emphasized because texts are assumed to have figures of speech, idiomatic expressions and proverbs. Learners should be encouraged to create their own texts and present them. Therefore the language competence through isiZulu literary and non-literary texts analysis should be developed. This discussion includes ways learners can develop their language competence through literary and non-literary texts analysis and the ways the language educators can teach learners language competence through literary and non-literary texts analysis. The research analyses different types of isiZulu literary texts to show how language competence can be developed through literary texts analysis. The novel, “Insila KaShaka,” poetry, short story, “Intando Kamufi,” essay, “Izifungo,” folktales and the drama, “Kudela Owaziyo” are analysed.
- ItemFanakalo in South Africa : an overview(2001) Pewa, Nonhlanhla Charlotte; Khumalo, L.Z.M.This document consists of five chapters which are as follows: Chapter 1 is an introductory part where the primary concept "pidgin" will be defined. Other basic terms namely survey, target language, lingua franca, mother tongue and others are also defined. It will deal with a survey of pidgins of the world where trends of Fanakalo as a pidgin begin to appear. Chapter 2 will deal with comparison of Fanakalo varieties to the standard form of isiZulu where linguistic aspects such as phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics will be highlighted. Chapter 3 will focus on the extent to which Fanakalo lexicon can be compared with that of isiZulu. This will necessitate the inclusion of sociolinguistic aspects such as borrowing, adaptation, coinage and interlarding. Chapter 4 is concerned with the perceptions of Fanakalo by members of the community where the results of the interviews conducted will be given and analyzed accordingly. Chapter 5 which is the final chapter will be the conclusion where the viability of Fanakalo in the "New" South Africa as well as general statements about Fanakalo will be given.
- ItemFolklore coupled with tourism as a tool for economic empowerment of the disadvantaged poor rural communities in KwaZulu-Natal (North Coast)(2002) Ntuli, Joshua Hlalanempi; Khumalo, L.Z.M.This research study is, inter alia, an attempt to respond to His Excellency, President Mbeki's call and pronouncement of the African Renaissance viz, that there be a reawakening and rebirth of Africa's heritage. This implies, amongst other things, the restoring of an African's dignity and respect, the eractition of poverty and its related disadvantages, re-looking at teh African's rich and lost culture. The research aims at dispelling the fallacy and myth that research output and involvement in research by the departments of African Languages at both historically White and historically Black universities are merely routine activities. to the critics these departments are geared towards survival rather than anything else.
- ItemFormulating effective policy: issues in language and education in Malawi(University of Zululand, 2000) Moyo, Cromwell Themba; Khumalo, L.Z.M.The primary intention of this study is that it will contribute to the theoretical and practical body of knowledge in the development of how effective policies are formulated, implemented and evaluated. The study therefore hopes to go some way towards contributing to knowledge in adequate planning and implementation of policy statements based on procedures offered by professionals. In this light the main debate is between linguistic conservationism and linguistic pragmatism. Here the study seeks to explore how the conflicts between these two views could possibly be reduced, if planning could focus more on domains and contexts of national language use. This process of narrower focusing, it is hoped, should be thoroughly informed by real and serious effort to integrate language policy with actual language use. This is in the hope that such an approach could lead to the identification and the addressing of language problems in Malawi- problems which are incompatible with the realisation of more substantive goals for all citizens. These include language in early education and language for access to social, economic and political development for all. Emerging from this study is the revelation that there is the absence of congruence between what policies stipulate and the practice on the ground. This incompatibility has led to a situation where languages are used for the benefit of agendas for politicians and the elite in achieving their goals at the expense QT other indigenous languages being used as instructional media and other regional and national purposes. The study therefore argues that language policies should be seen in the context of the roles they serve, the interest of the state and the various ethnolinguistic groups that the country has within its structure. As a state function, language policies should act as vehicles of transforming multilingual societies, through linguistic empowerment in which other ethnolinguistic groups do not feel threatened or excluded in the socio-economic and political advancement of the national life. The existence of the hegemony of particular chosen or selected languages, as we observe in this study, is the result of the predominance of undemocratic structures established by the status quo. The argument, therefore, is that linguistic diversity should be the norm in policy decision-making. The analysis of the current policies in Malawi reveals that a democratic commitment toward policy formulation translates into a struggle for language rights for all towards access and attainment of individual and national growth through equity in language use. Emanating from the findings from both the field study and secondary sources, suggestions of how an effective policy should be formulated are proposed, along with suggestions for further research related to this area of study.
- ItemThe Ingwavuma dialect of isiZulu with special reference to Kwanyawo, Kwamngomezulu and Kwamathenjwa areas(2005) Gumbi, Nompumelelo Zamile; Khumalo, L.Z.M.This work discusses the dialect of the people Jiving in a tiny village called Ingwavuma situated on the Lebombo mountains .It is surrounded by rolling hills, natural forests, countless rivers, fertile valleys and streams. This work focuses on the dialect of the people living at KwaNyawo, KwaMngomezulu and KwaMathenjwa areas. These areas are peacefull places where customs, dialects and behavior have not changed for thousands of years. The people of these three areas speak different dialects. The KwaNyawo people speak two different dialects. Those living at Mthonjeni and Kwaliweni speak the dialect that is influenced by siSwati language. Those living at Ophonweni area speak the language that is influenced by Thonga language. They call that language "Isigonde". There are those people who live at Lundini and KwaLindizwe who speak siSwati but most of them do not Tekela like Swazis when they speak. The other siSwati speaking area is Manyiseni at KwaMathenjwa area. The people of this area are siSwati speakers and they are proud of being Swazis. The aim of looking into this dialect is to compare it with isiZulu language and to look into its morphology, phonetics, phono logy and semantics as compared to that of isiZulu and siSwati languages. This work will be of great importance to other scholars because they will learn more about the dialect of these above mentioned areas. They will also know how to differentiate between Thonga language and the dialect of Inewavuma.

- ItemSymbolism and implications in the Zulu dance forms; notions of composition, performance and appreciation of dance among the Zulu(2007) Ngema, Vusabantu; Khumalo, L.Z.M.Indigenous people today are seeking to transcend the history of pain and loss that began with the coming of Europeans into our world. In the past 500 years, our people have suffered murderous onslaughts of greed and disease. Even as history's shadow lengthens to mark the passing of that brutfal age, the Western compulsion to control remains strong. To preserve what is left of our cultures and lands, is a constant fight. Some indigenous people believe the statements of regret and promises of reconciliation spoken by our oppressors. Some have come to trust and accept the world that has been created through colonization ... But those who find sincerity and comfort in the oppressor, who bind themselves to recent promises, must yield to the assimilationist demands of the mainstream and abandon any meaningful attainment to an indigenous cultural and political reality. Thankfully, those who accept the colonization of their nations are a small minority. Most people continue to participate in, or at least support, the struggle to gain recognition and respect for their right to exist as peoples, unencumbered by the demands, controls and false identities imposed on them by others. Amid the seemingly perpetual conflict that comes with defending our ideals, there is confusion, division, and sometimes despair. Sometimes it seems we have lost our way, and then the confusion, division and despair threaten to overwhelm us again. Distracted from our goal, we wander a forest of frustration living inauthentic lives that make us easy prey for those who would enslave us. Such times constitute crises, and we are in the midst of one today.... '
