  • Description: Abstract: This paper examines the use of alliteration in Welile Shasha’s poetry contained in Zihlabana nje Ziyalamba. This aspect is chosen as Shasha uses it very intensively in his poetry. Alliteration is discussed as demonstrated by the use of assonance and consonance in the poetry. To be considered then is the repetition of vowel and consonant sounds. The subheadings of this discourse are introduction, theoretical framework, research methodology, assonance and consonance. The concept of alliteration is defined as part of the introductory section of the study. A concluding remark, which provides the summary of the research, evaluation and recommendation for further study, will be included towards the end of the discourse. The theoretical framework that underpins this study is that of literary stylistics. The study uses the qualitative research methodology of data collection and analysis.

  • Identifier: http://hdl.handle.net/10210/489435 , uj:44626 , Citation: Mtumane, Z., Thwala, G.B., 2021. Parallelism in isiZulu hymns of two churches.
  • Description: Abstract: The aim of this study is to discuss some poetic aspects in isiZulu hymns of two churches; the Methodist Church of Southern Africa’s hymn book titled: Incwadi Yenkonzo Nezingoma and the Seventh-day Adventist Church hymn book titled: UKrestu EsiHlabelelweni. The main poetic aspect that is examined is parallelism. This study reveals that music and poetry cannot be entirely separated and that good songwriters know how to play with language in an attempt to communicate their message to the audience, as poets also do. In the discussion, parallelism is divided into complete parallelism, incomplete parallelism and parallelism by linking. The concept of parallelism will be defined as part of the introductory section of the discourse. A concluding remark, which contains the summary of the study, evaluation and recommendations, will be included towards the end of the essay.

  • Description: Abstract: This article investigates the undermining of young ministers of religion by members of the public and congregants, as it is illustrated in P. T. Mtuze’s novel; Indlel’ecand’intlango (1985). This investigation is fulfilled by considering how Ntobeko Ndleleni, who is a young pastor and the leading character in the story, is looked down upon both by members of society and his congregation. The undermining by members of the public is discussed as it is presented taking place at a train station in King William’s Town, where passengers comment on this character. The denigration by members of the congregation is revealed in a conversation by congregants referring to this cleric. The question this essay is attempting to answer is whether Mtuze exemplifies this tendency convincingly in his novel. Nouns such as usana (an infant), iqhajana (a young haughty person) and umfundisana (a young pastor), and the adverb ngamakhwenkwe (by boys), which are used by the characters who denigrate Ntobeko, are discussed. It is also revealed how some of these expressions are used in their diminutive form to emphasise the belittling of this cleric. A definition of the concept of ‘undermining’ is included as part of the study. Lastly, a concluding section is included where the summary and evaluation, and recommendations are provided.

  • Identifier: http://hdl.handle.net/10210/273368 , uj:29121 , Citation: Mtumane, Z. 2018. Xenophobic or not? a case of amaXhosa with regard to amaGqunuqhwa as reflected in M. A. P. Ngani’s Umkhonto kaTshiwo.
  • Description: Abstract: This article seeks to answer the question of whether the traditional amaXhosa, particularly under the leadership of Khwane, were xenophobic or not. This will be fulfilled by examining the light shed in M. A. P. Ngani’s historical drama text Umkhonto kaTshiwo (1985) which reflects the response of this community to amaGqunuqhwa (the Griquas) that came to them as strangers. Historical evidence of what this text is illustrating will be sought from various sources. The manner in which these newcomers were accepted and assimilated into the nation of amaXhosa, and the subsequent formation of the nation of amaGqunukhwebe (a sub-group of amaXhosa), will form the bulk of the different sections of this discourse. For clarity of the topic, an explanation of the concept of xenophobia will be included in the research. Towards the end of the presentation, concluding remarks will be included encompassing the summary of the study, findings and recommendations. Key words: Xenophobia, amaXhosa, amaGqunuqhwa (Griquas), Khwane, Mngaza, MAP Ngani, Umkhonto kaTshiwo, amaGqunukhwebe.
