The role of music and language in reflecting beliefs in fertility and marriage
Music, like language, can be used to transmit beliefs, values and worldviews. Since indigenous music, like any piece of art, is not composed in a vacuum, it reflects the moral and social values through which it is conceived. One of the areas in which it plays an important role is marriage. Traditional marriage unifies families in communities, its primary function being to produce children as new members of the community. In fulfilling this aim, c…
The clash of ideologies
In South Africa traditional leaders, aka (also known as) chiefs or collaborators, had hoped that the new liberation political environment would retain and safeguard their deeply embedded cultural practices and values, which had existed for centuries, but had been partly violated during the colonial era. However, the new liberation era brought with it notions of liberal democracy—characterised by concepts of meritorious selections, based on democr…

In the early 1990s, Kenya's peace was often punctuated by ethnolinguistically based tribal skirmishes. On the other hand, Rwanda has experienced bouts of war and social upheaval from as early as 1959, culminating in the 1994 genocide when close to one million Rwandan people were killed. Pogroms in Rwanda occurred even though the country was essent…
