dc.description.abstractStorytelling plays a very significant role in the daily activities of human beings. With regard to the significance of storytelling, Compton's Encyclopedia (1994:636) explains: Storytelling is as old as man. People were telling stories to one another, around campfires and waterholes long before written language developed. Like many nations around the world, Zulus are renowned for their storytelling abilities that date back to time immemorial. A look at their folktales, riddles, praises, songs, etc, reveals a rich heritage of unsurpassed storytelling techniques. In this chapter we are going to illustrate why we feel that there is need for an evaluation of how Zulu artists use music and poetry as a platform for communicating messages through stories. We are going to define some concepts that will be used in this study and indicate their relevance in elucidating the storytelling aspect of Zulu music and poetry. We are also going to look at some studies that have been undertaken in Zulu music and poetry and clarify how we intend to tackle this study.en_US
