A Strategic Analysis of the Folktale of Tselane Le Dimo
In conflict and warfare, strategy, more than tactic is a primary vehicle and instrument for competitive advantage or victory. In the tshomo (folk story) of Tselane Le Dimo, the protagonist or heroine is engaged in a conflict of advantage with the antagonist or villain. Generally, folk narratives are regarded as didactic genres aimed at teaching young people certain morals or ways of conduct or warn against certain taboos. In this study, I shift t…

‘I sing of the woes of my travels’
Sotho folk literature, like that of other Bantu or indigenous languages spoken in South Africa, has been in existence since time immemorial, and has been passed by word of mouth from one generation to the succeeding, until in the latter half of the nineteenth century when it was transcribed by the Paris Evangelical Missionary Society, whose members arrived in Lesotho around 1833. Poetry in particular is a salient genre of this folk tradition. The…
The Cambridge History of South African Literature
South Africa's unique history has produced literatures in many languages, in both oral and written forms, reflecting the diversity in the cultural histories and experiences of its people. The Cambridge History offers a comprehensive, multi-authored history of South African literature in all eleven official languages (and more minor ones) of the country, produced by a team of over forty international experts, including contributors from all of the…

Archetyping race, gender and class
This article sets out to interrogate the ideological hegemony of the superstructuring narrative voice in advertisements by studying linguistic, structural devices and encoding that are employed, in order to expose its racial, class and gender undertones embedded in the authorial voice. The sample of advertisements discussed is derived from The Bantu World and its two sequels, The World and The Sowetan. The sample is thinly dispersed over a period…

Multi-Cultural Relations in a Post-Apartheid South Africa
I WOULD LIKE TO discuss multi-cultural relations in post-apartheid South Africa. Received definitions of culture tend to refer to certain long standing traits and characteristics of group behaviour; and groups are often narrowly defined in terms of well established allegiances to tribe, ethnic group, national group, religion, race and so forth. With reference to South Africa, race, in addition to tribe and ethnicity, are often the most important …
