Abstract
M.A.
This study is a critical assessment of F.A. Thuketana's novels, which are a rich addition
to the corpus of Xitsonga literature. Narratological aspects evident in his novels
Xisomisana, N'waninginingi ma ka tindleve and Ndzi ngo tinciki, were identified.
Thuketana is a successful writer, who through his themes, milieu and space, time and
characterization, is able to effectively bring out his ideas and thoughts to his readers.
