    Contemporary trends in marriage and its preliminaries among the AbakwaMkhwanazi
    (University of Zululand, 1981) Sibiya, Isaac; de Clercq, J.L.W.
    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.
