Toxicity in gendered Sepedi proverbs
This article examines some linguistic features of Sepedi proverbs.

Covid-19 crisis communication in Sepedi
There is a paucity of literature on the importance of translating health risk messages into South Africa’s indigenous languages as a tool for crisis prevention and management. This article focuses on the quality of translations of COVID-19 information from English into Sepedi by the Limpopo Department of Health.

Central to this study is the construction of interrogative structures in Sepedi derived from wh-stems. A qualitative interpretive approach was adopted to explore and understand the meanings and in…
