Ulwazi luqoqwe ngokusebenzisa icontent analysis ewukuhlaziya okuqukethwe ngokubuka imidlalo ephathelene nocwaningo, kuqokwe okuqukethwe. Lwesekwe yinjulalwazi ye Hemeneyuthiki.
Lobola cultural practices in modern Zulu society as the shape of gender identity and constraint on marriage.
(2023) Mkize, Thobisile.; Ngcobo, Tholakele Ruth.
Among Zulu people, marriage is percieved as an intergral ritual and aspect of socio-cultural life. Lobola cultural practice is the first step carried out prior to marriage. This practice is respected as a foundation for family formation that allows the bride and the groom to connect and connect their families. Lobola practice has been handed down from generation to generation and sustained from time immemorial to this date. Traditionally, lobola was determined by the family of the groom as a way of gratitude to the bride’s family for the upbringing of their daughter. There was no fixed number of cows were deemed valuable, the groom gives what he could afford. There was no monetary exchange and therefore, the term, “payment” was not utilized. Lobola was not regulated until 1869 when it was formalized by the then Natal Secretary for Native Affairs, Theophilus Shepstone. The aim of this study was to shed insights into lobola practice in modern Zulu society. It is essential to highlight that all Zulu people who participated in this study were married and still in the lobola process.This study strived to answer the following research questions (1) How lobola practices is practiced in Zulu society? (2) What are the lobola processes in Zulu society? (3)What is the relationship between cultural factors and lobola practices? The study adopted a qualitative research positioned with the interprevist paradigm. The data was collected from the sample of 50 participants using semi-structured interviews and questionnare. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 6 interviewees selected from Willowfountein community in Pietermaritzburg. The questionnaire was distributed to 44 participants, equally divided between male and female, at the United Ethiopian Church in Willowfountein. Data were analysed using thematic analysis. The study will contribute to the younger generation and urban Zulu people who challenge lobola practice and African cultures and religion. The findings indicated that, lobola is well-known among Zulus and retains cultural value. Participants stressed that the significance of lobola is to link two families and to legalize marriage. This is even though as time passed, individuals lost sight of the meaning of lobola, resultantly commercialising the practice. Participants claimed that there is a link between lobola and marriage since lobola payment is needed for a marriage to be acknowledged. However, in post-apartheid and with the advent of democracy in South Africa marriage has decreased and lobola is identified as constraint on marriage especially among youth. Large amount of lobola and different stages that occur during lobola payment, in some cases,caused delays in marriage. Participantssaid that some families utilized the girl's virginity status and educational attainment to determine the amount of lobola payment. ii Apart from the challenges that participants experiened as married people, some participants' felt that lobola should not be a deciding factor for two people who wants to be together. Modern families have been portrayed as using lobola for financial gain. Since most people in modern times use money as a gift to the family of the bride and has been reduced to transaction or payment, it is recommended that before lobola negotiations commence, both families should advise individuals who are about to get married about the importance of true love and proceed with the negotiations once they can see that both individuals understand the importance of marriage. Although this peresent study has highlighted important aspects of lobola cultural practice and it will contribute to young people who continues to challenge lobola practice, the applicability of the findings to broader society is still questionable. However, while the outcomes of this study are no generalizability of results but rather a deeper understanding of lobola from Zulu people’s perspectives. It is recommende that a larger study of this nature be undertaken so as to make the findings more applicable to a larger society. Furthermore, all participants of this study belong to Zulu ethnic group. This was largely a function of that during data collection period all participants were infact of Zulu ethnicity.
Ikhono lika M.J Mngadi lokusebenzisa izimpawu emanovelini akhe amabili akhethiwe.
(2023) Mazibuko, Zamangwe Pertunia.; Zwane, Celani Lucky.; Maphumulo, Abednego Mandlenkosi.
This research looks at M.J. Mngadi’s ability to use signs of semiotics in his two selected novels titled “Imiyalezo” (2008) and “Ifa ngukufa” (2001). Although there are other novels that Mngadi has written but they also have signs of semiotics that the researcher could use to analyze them, but she chose these two and she believed that they adequately express the signs that are sufficient for this research. This study uses theory of semiotics, which was found to be the most suitable for the study. This study has six chapters. The first chapter presents introduction. The motivation of the research, the need to do the research, the objectives of the research, the methods of doing the research, the basic database of the research, the design of the chapters and the conclusion are listed. The second chapter looks at the literature review. The third chapter looks at the methods and theory used to conduct the research. Here the qualitative method, purposive sampling, text analysis was used to filter the documents. The theory used was semiotics. The fourth chapter looks at the types of signs of semiotics that Mngadi used in his two selected novels. Where the first type is found which is an obvious sign, the second type is a hidden sign, the third and the last one is twisted the fifth chapter looks at the reasons why Mngadi used signs of semiotics in his novels. The reasons found are foreshadowing, emphasis and prolongation. The sixth chapter focuses on conclusion, summarizes everything that was done in the research and presents the recommendations. IQOQA LOCWANINGO : Kulolu cwaningo kubhekwa ikhono likaM.J. Mngadi lokusebenzisa izimpawu zesemiotics nalisebenzisile ekubhaleni amanoveli akhe amabili akhethiwe azihloko zithi “Imiyalezo” (2008) nethi “Ifa ngukufa” (2001). Nakuba ekhona amanye amanoveli uMngadi awabhalile kodwa nawo anazo izimpawu zesemiotics umcwaningi abengawasebenzisa ukuzihlaziya, kodwa ukhethe lawa amabili nokuyiwona athole kuwona ukuthi aziveza ngokwanele izimpawu ezanele zalolu cwaningo. Lolu cwaningo lusebenzise injulalwazi yesemiotics, nokuyiyona okutholakale ukuthi iyona efanele ucwaningo. Lolu cwaningo linezahluko eziyisithupha. Isahluko sokuqala sethula obekwenziwa ocwaningweni. Kubalwa isisusa socwaningo, isidingo sokwenza ucwaningo, izinhloso zocwaningo, izindlela zokwenza ucwaningo, injulalwazi eyisisekelo socwaningo, umklamo wezahluko nesiphetho. Isahluko sesibili sibheka ukubuyekezwa kwemibhalo. Isahluko sesithathu sibheka izindlela ezisetshenzisiwe zokuqhuba ucwaningo. Lapha kusetshenziswe indlela yekhwalithethivu, ipurposive sampling, itext analysis ukuhluza imibhalo. Isahluko sesine sibheka izinhlobo zezimpawu uMngadi azisebenzisile emanovelini akhe amabili akhethiwe. Lapho kutholakale uhlobo lokuqala okuwuphawu olusobala, uhlobo lesibili olucashile, elesithathu nelokugcina olusontekile. Isahluko sesihlanu sibheka izizathu ezenze ukuthi uMngadi asebenzise izimpawu emanovelini akhe. Izizathu ezitholakele ukubikezela, ukugcizelela nokunkondloza. Isahluko sesithupha sifingqa konke obekwenziwa ocwaningweni sinikeza nezincomo.
Izindikimba nokuvezwa kwabalingiswa besifazane kweminye imibhalo yesiZulu ebhalwe ngababhali besifazane ngemuva kwesikhathi senkululeko.
(2023) Mkhize, Gloria Khumuzile.; Zwane., Celani Lucky.
Kulolu cwaningo bekubhekwa ukuvezwa kwabalingiswa nezindikimba okubhale ngazo ababhali besifazane emibhalweni ethize yesiZulu. Umcwaningi uqoke izincwadi ezibhalwe ngababhali besifazane baseNingizimu Afrika. Kuvelile izindikimba ezivela kakhulu emibhalweni yabhali besifazane okuyindikimba yothando, yokuhlukunyezwa, yokukhulisa izingane ngabodwana neyokwesweleka kwemisebenzi. Lezi zindikimba zivela kuzona zonke izincwadi eziqokiwe nokwenze umcwaningi abone ukuthi zibathinta kanjani abantu besifazane njengoba kubhalwa kakhulu ngazo. Umcwaningi uphinde waveza abalingiswa besifazane lapho bevezwa ngababhali besifazane. Kulokho okugqamayo ukuthi eminingi imibhalo ebhalwe ngabesilisa ibingakuvezi ubuqiniso lapho yethula umlingiswa wesifazane bekuba into abayikhanda ngendlela nangeso lomuntu wesilisa kungekho ukujula njengalapho ebhekwa ngowesifazane. Lolu cwaningo lube nayo impumelelo njengoba umcwaningi ekwazile ukujula kulezo zingqikithi abeqoke ukugxila kuzona ocwaningweni lwakhe.
Ukukloloda emculweni kamaskandi: kubhekwa abaculi oKhuzani Mpungose kanye noMthandeni Manqele.
(2021) Zondo, Nolungelo.; Mazibuko, Gugulethu Brightness.
Lolu cwaningo luhlaziya ukukloloda emculweni kamasikandi kubhekwa uKhuzani Mpungose noMthandeni Manqele. Luveze izinto ezahlukene eziholela ekutheni kubekhona ukukloloda emculweni wabaqokiwe. Kulolu cwaningo kusetshenziswe indlela yekhwalithethivu ukuqoqa ulwazi olundingekayo. Ucwaningo ngokwekhwalithethivu lugxile ezintweni ezenzeka ngokwemvelo yazo. Umcwaningi usebenzise uhlaziyomibhalo ukuze athole imiphumela abeyilindele ocwaningweni. Ubelalela aphinde abhale izingoma okuyizona ezinokukloloda. Nesu lokubukela libambe iqhaza elikhulu ekuqoqeni ulwazi lwalolu cwaningo. Imicimbi eyayiqoshwe ngesikhathi esiphambilini nayo umcwaningi ubeyibuka. Izinkundla zokuxhumana nazo zibe nelazo iqhaza ekutholeni ulwazi, umcwaningi ubelandela omasikandi abaqokiwe ukuze kuthi uma kukhona abakufaka ezinkundleni zokuxhumana asheshe akubone. Injulalulwazi yokungqubuzana kwemibono neye-Orality yizona ezasetshenziswa kulolu cwaningo. Injulalulwazi yokungqubuzana kwemibono yayilungile ngoba amaculo asetshenziselwe lolu cwaningo aveza ukukloloda okukhona ukungezwani ngokwemibono. Njengoba umculo uwubuciko bomlomo yayingeke isale injulalulwazi ye-Orality egcizelela ukunotha kobuciko bomlomo. lmiphumela yalolu cwaningo iyakuveza ukuthi ziningi izinto omasikandi abazivezayo emculweni wabo kepha iningi labalaleli abakushaya indiva bangazibuzi ukuthi kudalwa yini.
Uguquko ekubhalweni kwezinkondlo zolimi lwesizulu: kuqhathaniswa amaqoqo kaVilakazi, B. W. nakaMavuso B.
(2021) Nxumalo, Dumsani Walter.; Mazibuko, Gugulethu Brightness.
Isihloko salolu cwaningo sithi: Uguquko Ekubhalweni Kwezinkondlo Zolimi LwesiZulu: Kuqhathaniswa Amaqoqo kaVilakazi, B.W. nakaMavuso, B. Lolu cwaningo luhlose ukuqhathanisa izinkondlo ezabhalwa eminyakeni yakudala (1935 - 1945) zibhalwa uB.W. Vilakazi, ziqhathaniswa nalezo ezibhalwe kamuva (2006 - 2015) zahlelwa uB. Mavuso. Esahlukweni sokuqala kulapho kwethulwa khona ucwaningo futhi isona ebesichaza isihloko esidingidwayo. Indaba yokudingeka kwalolu cwaningo kukhulunyiwe ngayo lapha kulesi sitanza sokuqala. Umklamo walolu cwaningo wethuliwe nawo kulesi sahluko. Kwavezwa nezingqinamba umcwaningi ahlangabezane nazo ngenkathi eqhuba lolu cwaningo. Kwavezwa imibuzo ezophendulwa yilolu cwaningo. Umlando wengqalabutho kulo mkhakha uB.W.Vilakazi uvezwe kafushane nawo kulesi sahluko, kanjalo nembongi ebhale amaqoqo ezinkondlo zakamuva uB. Mavuso. Umcwaningi ubheke imibhalo eminingi ephathelene nobuciko bezinkondlo ukuze akwazi ukuqhathanisa le mibhalo. Kubuyekezwe imibhalo yongoti bakwamanye amazwe nabalapha kwelengabade. Kulolu cwaningo kusetshenziswe izinjulalwazi ezimbili oku-hermeneutics nepost colonialism okuyizona ezithathwa njengeziphakamiso lapho imibhalo emisha isuselwa khona. Umcwaningi ukhethe ukusebenzisa pharadaymu ngoba ixhumene nemigudu yokwembula izincazelo ezifihlekile emibhalweni. Kulolu cwaningo kusetshenziswe amapharadaymu ukuqoqa ulwazi ngoba yiwona angumgogodla wocwaningo futhi ayasiza ukuhumusha imibhalo ebhaliwe. UMazibuko (2008:68) uthi ngokwale pharadaymu eqondayo lokho okucwaningwayo kusayensi yenhlalo kufanele kube nokuxhumana phakathi kwalokho okucwaningwayo nalokho okwenzeka emphakathini. Izindlela zokuqoqa ulwazi nazo azisalanga, okwenze umcwaningi aqoke indlela yekhwalithethivu ngoba iyona egxile ekutheni izinto zizenzekele, ngoba imiphumela yalapho ayidingi izinombolo ukuze icutshungulwe. NgokukaCreswell (2009:4) ucwaningo lwekhwalithethivu luyindlela yokuthola nokuqonda incazelo yomuntu nomuntu noma yeqoqwana eyakhekayo ezinkingeni zomphakathi. Umcwaningi uqhubekile nokuhlaziya lokho okutholakele kulolu cwaningo, ngokukhetha izinkondlo ezingamashumi amabili nanhlanu kula maqoqo kaVilakazi wabe eseveza amabalengwe nje ezinkondlo okutholakele kuzona ubunkondlo obuqanda ikhanda. Uphinde waveze nakwezikaMavuso, izibonelo zezinkondlo enze ngazo amasampula ezingamashumi amabili nanhlanu. Sezizonke izinkondlo okwenziwe ngazo izibonelo zingamashumi amahlanu (50). Imiphumela iyaveza ukuthi lukhona uguquko oselukhona uma kubhekwa isakhiwo nolimi ezinkondlweni zakamuva. Ucwaningo luyasitshengisa futhi ukuthi ababhali bezinkondlo bakamuva bakha phezulu kakhulu uma bebhala izinkondlo zabo. Kuvela ukuthi izinkondlo zabo azinawo umsoco wobunkondlo odingekayo ngenxa yokuthi bashiya ngaphandle izifengqo futhi basebenzisa ulimi olulula noluyiphrozi. Lo mkhuba uyawululaza kakhulu umsebenzi wobuciko nohlonishwa kakhulu. Kuyancomeka nje ukuthi ababhali bezinkondlo bakamuva bazinike isikhathi uma befuna ukubhala izinkondlo ezisezingeni elamukelekile nezihlabahlosile kumele basebenzise amagama anembayo nolimi olunothe ngezifengqo. Izibongo zamakhosi ziwuhlobo oluyisibonelo esihle sezinga eliphezulu lobunkondlo. Ulwazi olutholakele kulolu cwaningo lungaba wusizo olukhulu kulabo abanelukuluku lokubhala izinkondlo. Umcwaningi ube esephetha lolu cwaningo ngokuveza izincomo kumbe iziphakamiso zocwaningo oluhlobene nalesi sihloko olusengenziwa ngabanye abacwaningi.
Ubuciko benjulalwazi yokusebenziseka kwesichazamazwi esilulimimbili esifaka amalema ngezilimi ezimbili sika-kode (1996) ukwelekelela ukufunda nokufundisisa isiZulu nesingisi eningizimu africa.
(2020) Dladla, Silindile Thuleleni.; Mazibuko, Gugulethu Brightness.
Lolu cwaningo luhlaziya ubumqoka benjulalwazi yokusebenziseka kwesichazamazwi esilulimimbili esifaka amalema ngezilimi ezimbili sika-Doke (1996) ukwelekelela ukufunda nokufundisa isiZulu nesiNgisi eNingizimu Afrika. INingizimu Afrika ingelinye lamazwe agqugquzela ubuliminingi. Izichazamazwi ezilulimimbili zibamba iqhaza elikhulu ekwenzeni umsebenzi wokufunda nokufundisa izilimi ezimbili ngesikhathi esisodwa ube yimpumelelo. Lolu cwaningo luhlaziya ukubaluleka kokubeka emqoka izidingo zabasebenzisi besichazamazwi uma kwakhiwa izichazamazwi ezilulimimbili. Ukubekwa phambili kwezidingo zabasebenzisi besichazamazwi kungukusetshenziswa kwenjulalwazi yokwakhiwa kwesichazamazwi eyasungulwa nguHaas (1962) ebeka phambili izidingo zabasebenzisi besichazamazwi abahlose ukwakhelwa isichazamazwi. Isichazamazwi esilulimimbili sakhelwa ukufeza izidingo zabasebenzisi besichazamazwi abanentshisekelo yokufunda ulimi olusha okungaba olokuqala lokwengeza noma olwesibili lokwengeza. Abasebenzisi balolu hlobo lwesichazamazwi basuke bengalwazi nhlobo noma bengalwazi ngokuphelele ulimi abasuke benentshisekelo yokulufunda. Kubalulekile ukuthi isichazamazwi esilulimimbili sakheka ngendlela ebeka emqoka abasebenzisi besichazamazwi ukuze babe nogqozi nentshisekelo yokusisebenzisa. Lokhu kuba nomthelela omuhle ekufezeni ukufundwa kobuliminingi. Ukuhlaziywa kwesichazamazwi esakhiwe ngolimi lwesiZulu nolwesiNgisi kuhlahla indlela eya phambili ekuthuthukiseni lezi zilimi zombili ezisetshenziswa kakhulu eNingizimu Afrika. Lolu cwaningo luyindlela yokuphosa esivivaneni ikakhulukazi emkhakheni wesayensi yokwakhiwa kwezichazamazwi eNingizimu Afrika okungumkhakha obonakala udonsa kanzima ekusimameni. Izichazamazwi ezilulimimbili eNingizimu Afrika zisabukeka zisalela emuva ngokwenjulalwazi yokusebenziseka kanti lokhu kwenza zingasebenziseki ngendlela efanele kubasebenzisi bazo. Lolu cwaningo luqoqwe kusetshenziswa indlela yohlaziyomibhalo. Umcwaningi uhlaziye isichazamazwi esilulimimbili sika-Doke (1996) kanye nezincwadi ezinhlobonhlobo ezethula injulalwazi yokusebenziseka, injulalwazi yesemantiki kusukeka emazweni angaphandle, emazweni ase-Afrika kanye nasezweni laseNingizimu Afrika. Le ndlela isetshenziswe ngobuchule ukuhlaziya ucwaningo ukuze kubekwe obala isidingo sabasebenzisi besichazamazwi kanye nezingqinamba ababhekana nazo uma isichazamazwi sakhiwe ngendlela engabeki emqoka izidingo zabasebenzisi baso. Kulolu cwaningo kukhuthazwa ukuqhutshekwa kokwenziwa kocwaningo ngezichazamazwi ezilulimimbili ukuze kwakhiwe izichazamazwi ezibeka emqoka izidingo zabasebenzisi bazo kanye nokuthuthukiswa komkhakha wesayensi yokwakhiwa kwezichazamazwi.
Ukuhlaziywa kokufakwa kwamalema angomqondofana nangomqondophika esichazamazwini esilulimimbili sika-de Schryver (2015) ngeso lenjulalwazi yokusebenziseka.
(2020) Jauza, Mawethu Lawrence.; Mazibuko, Gugulethu Brightness.
Umkhakha wokwenziwa kwezichazamazwi ezifaka izilimi zabomdabu usemusha e-Afrika, naseNingizimu Afrika, noma bezenziwa eminyakeni edlule kodwa bekungalandelwa kakhulu injulalwazi yokwenziwa kwezichazamazwi ekhuluma ngokusebenziseka kalula kanye nokufezwa kwezidingo zabasebenzisi bezichazamazwi. Lokhu kusho ukuthi isichazamazwi kumele sibe ngesifeza izidingo zabasebenzisi abahlonziwe, siphendule yonke imibuzo abasebenzisi abahlonziwe abangase babe nayo okugcina kumele lonke ulwazi oludingwa ngabasebenzisi abahlonziwe lutholakale kalula. Lolu cwaningo luhlaziya ukufakwa kwamalema angomqondofana nangomqondophika esichazamazwini esilulimimbili sika-De Schryver (2015) ngeso lenjulalwazi yokusebenziseka. Inhloso yalokhu ukuthola ukuthi isichazamazwi esilulimimbili sika-De Schryver (2015) siyaphumelela yini ukuhlinzeka abasebenzisi ngolwazi oluzothuthukisa ukukhulunywa ngempumelelo kwezilimi okufakwe ngazo amalema, ukuhlaziya ngokunzulu ukuthi njengoba lesi sichazamazwi singesilulimimbili siyayifeza noma siyahlangabezana yini nenjulalwazi yokusebenziseka nezidingo zabasebenzisi uma kufakwa amalema angomqondofana nangomqondophika. Kanye nokuzama ukuqonda kabanzi umsebenzi nezinhlosongqangi zokwakhiwa kwesichazamazwi esilulimimbili esifaka amalema ngolimi lwesiZulu nolwesiNgisi.
The utility of written isiZulu in the banks located in the INK region: a language planning evaluation study.
(2020) Bolofo, Mongezi Christopher.; Ngubane, Sihawukele Emmanuel.
The banks have established language policies that aim to elevate the status of official indigenous languages to the level of English. This study evaluates the implementation of the language policy planning in the banking sector to determine its impact in elevating the status of isiZulu. Research was conducted in the five bank branches i.e. Nedbank, Capitec, Absa, Standard Bank and FNB servicing Inanda, KwaMashu and Ntuzuma Townships (referred herein as INK region). This study brings a new dynamic of using written isiZulu language as a measurement of the efficacy of language policies in the elevation of status of isiZulu, making language policy evaluation practical and measurable. Using a triangulation research method, survey was conducted whereby a questionnaire was administered to the clientele and employees of the five bank branches. Semi-structured interviews with bank managers were held. In addition, participation-observation was undertaken to determine how much of isiZulu is used in its written form in the said branches. The findings indicated that though the five banks supports multilingualism in their language policies and declare isiZulu as one of their official languages, this undertaking is not supported by tangible written products in isiZulu. The digital platforms are also not available in isiZulu. The study concluded that the language policies have not ;/increased the use of written isiZulu in the banks and therefore isiZulu has not achieved parity of esteem with English. The study recommends focused evaluation through bodies tasked to regulate the banking sector and further research on digital inclusion of official indigenous language, as well as the development of new policies in line with digitization.

According to the context of South Africa, a personal name carries a lot of information that speaks to its naming. A personal name carries an identity and a character of the name carrier but other races view personal names as a label that helps to categorise people accordingly. The study of personal names is called ‘Anthroponomy’ and it is regarded as a branch of ‘Onomastics’. The Anthroponomy deals with the study of personal names as opposed to other names. This research aims to discuss names given to characters who are the representation of real people with an aim examine whether naming of characters (in novels) match the naming of people in real life. The critical question of this research is that of looking whether writers do consider the importance of naming as a whole when they are naming their characters and that do they consider the importance of the meaning of those names and the naming shifts in the practice of personal names. This is done by the comparing of meanings of names given to characters (in conjunction with their novelic lives) with the meaning of a name given to a real person in the real world and also the issue of shift and continuities in the naming ptactice. The Socio-Onomastic theory and the literary onomastics theory have been applied to this research with an aim of supporting the objectives of this research. The names used in this research are for: Amasokisi, Ngizigwaze Ngowami and Ngiyabonga novels.
Investigation into the portrayal of female characters in selected isiZulu novel after the year 2000: an African womanist literal approach.
(2019) Shabalala, Sicelo Cyril.; Zulu, Nogwaja Shadrack

Representation of disability in IsiZulu literary works.
(2017) Thabede, Sineliso Lindokuhle.; Sibiya, Nakanjani Goodenough.
This research seeks to analyse the representation of disability in isiZulu literary works such as novels, drama, short stories, and poems. It identifies the types and causes of disability as portrayed in isiZulu literary works. Since certain types of disability are frequently depicted in isiZulu literature works while others are not, this research then seeks to identify types of disabilities that are most frequently depicted and those that are not frequently depicted in isiZulu literary works. It also identifies the causes of disability in characters. The research examines the attitudes of characters towards disability in isiZulu literary works. There are diverse attitudes towards disability; this includes the attitudes of the narrators, the attitudes of other characters, and the attitudes of characters living with a disability. Lastly, the research investigates the effects, and coping strategies of characters living with a disability. There are certain effects the characters with disability face, and there are diverse strategies they tend to employ to cope with those effects. The research also investigates those effects, and coping strategies employed by characters with disabilities in isiZulu literary works. This research uses the Qualitative research method. Qualitative research method is a method that is very important if the researcher aims at interpreting, and comprehending the world in which we lived. Qualitative research is a method of analysis used in many different academic disciplines particularly in the social sciences; but all qualitative researchers aim to gather an in-depth understanding of human behaviour and the underlying reasons that govern such behaviour. This research will use a Social Model of Disability theory to provide a proper analysis of aspects of disabilities on which isiZulu literary texts comment.

Xaba, Beryl Babsy Boniwe.; Maphumulo, Abednego Mandlenkosi.
Uma kuke kwaphathwa igama elithi, ubutabane abantu babuthisa izinhlonze, bahlahle amehlo. Kungaba isemindenini noma emphakathini kuyefana. Lolu hlobo lwempilo kwabanye lubukeka sengathi isifo noma umkhuhlane othile othathelanayo futhi onobungozi. Esikhathini samanje ukuthandana nobulili obufanayo kuyindlela yokuphila esemthethweni ikakhulukazi lapha eNingizimu Afrika ngoba kuyilungelo elishicilelwe ngisho emthethweni sisekelo wezwe. Nakuba kunjalo imiphakathi eminingi yaseNingizimu Afrika ukuthandana kobulili obufanayo ikuthatha njengohlobo lwempilo oluvela emazweni aphesheya, ikholelwa ekutheni akusiyo indlela yempilo yalapha e-Afrika. Intshisekelo yokwenza lolu cwaningo isuka khona lapho ekutheni iyingcosana imibhalo enale ndikimba esike yashicilelwa olimini lwesiZulu. Le mibhalo ekhethiwe ecwaningwe lapha inhloso yayo ukuvula amehlo esizweni sonke ngokuthandana kobulili obufanayo. Lolu cwaningo lubuye lubheke nezinxushunxushu ezivela emibhalweni ecwaningiwe ezidalwa izifiso ezingasaphumelelanga zalabo abangamalungu omndeni ngenxa yokuthi indodana noma indodakazi yabo isiphumele obala ngesimo sobulili bayo.

Lolu cwaningo lubheka izizathu ezenza umphakathi ungalwemukeli lolu hlobo lwempilo ikakhulukazi esizweni samaZulu. Ukukhuliswa komntwana ophila le mpilo kungenye yezinto eziphawuliwe kubhekiswa emibhalweni ecwaningiwe. Iqhaza elibanjwe usikompilo nalo liyagqama kulolu cwaningo. Kanjalo nokushayisana kwemiqondo phakathi kwalowo othandana nobulili obufana nobakhe kanye namalunga omndeni noma omphakathi kuyahlaziywa kulolu cwaningo kanjalo nezizathu zalesi simo.

Lo mbhalo ukhuluma ngamasiko esiZulu abukeka ehlukumeza abantu besifazane ngezindlela ezahlukene. La masiko ekugxilwe kuwona isiko lokuzila nesiko lokungenwa. Konke lokhu kwenziwa kususelwa ezincwadini ezimbili ezingamanoveli ethi ‘Ifa Lenkululeko’ nethi ‘Ifa Ngukufa.’ ukuguquka kwesiko yikho okubukeka kuyinto enomthelela omkhulu ekuhlukumezekeni kwabantu besifazane ngenxa yamasiko. Kubuye kuvele ukuthi abantu abaningi abasahambisani namasiko ayenziwa emandulo ngenxa yokuthi awasahambisani nesikhathi sanamuhla. Lokhu kuvezwa izingxoxo ezenziwe kuxoxiswana nabantu bemiphakathi eyahlukene eyakhele indawo yaseMgungundlovu. Kubuye kuvele ukuthi abanye abantu basaweseka la masiko yize engahambisani nesikhathi sanamuhla. Kugqama ukuthi amasiko anezingxenye ezimbili njengalokhu eguquka nje, kukhona okuhle ngawo kanti futhi kukhona nokubi ngawo. Okucacayo ukuthi ngeke kwagwemeka ukuguquka kwamasiko njengalokhu inkathi yokuphila ishitsha, nezizwe sezahlala ngokuxubana ndawonye.
