Abstract
The aim of this study was to highlight the adapting of human behaviour to the changing environment and time in the context of African languages literature. The study was guided by post-colonial theory, a theory that challenges the influence of colonialism in African States. This theory was used to examine some cultural aspects in Zulu novels. The study was centred on the following cultural aspects: sexuality (homosexuality), immorality and morality, and cultural devotion. Qualitative research method was used as a primary research method guiding this study. These cultural aspects were studied from three novels, N.G. Sibiya’s Bengithi Lizokuna (2008), J.C. Buthelezi’s Kushaywa Edonsayo (1993) and M.E. Wanda’s Kunjalo-ke (2008). The above mentioned novels were thus used to collect data. The findings of this study revealed that there are great moral and culture alterations within African societies. In analysing homosexuality, it was discovered that fulfilling sexual identity by homosexuals, bring them freedom and serenity. It was also revealed that there are still parents and other members of society who do not accept homosexuality. From the study, it was also learned that there is a great modification of moral values among African societies. It is attainable that popular culture plays a significant role in shifting cultural paradigms among African societies...
