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