Exploring the isiZulu translation process of medical content at University of kwaZulu Natal Medical School.
(2024) Dlamini, Sinethemba.; Gokool, Roshni.; Dlamini, Phindile.
Communication is essential for healthcare practitioners who intend to understand their patients. KwaZulu-Natal has the largest isiZulu-speaking population in South Africa. In some parts of KwaZulu-Natal, especially in the rural areas, many patients are monolingual. Therefore, it is vital that isiZulu and/or other African indigenous languages be integrated into health sciences curricula across the country. At UKZN (University of KwaZulu-Natal), isiZulu has made significant inroads into the MBChB (i.e. Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery) curriculum. However, more research and further integration of isiZulu is urgently needed. This study explores the isiZulu translation process of medical content used to develop a web-based learning tool at the Nelson R Mandela School of Medicine to assist non-isiZulu-speaking students in enhancing isiZulu for clinical communication. Translation is a way of building a language communication relationship between patients who are native speakers of isiZulu language and non-isiZulu-speaking medical students. This study intends to generate new knowledge on the isiZulu translation process of medical content by addressing the problem of translating English medical content into the isiZulu language. Specifically, it relates to medical terminology that is non-existent in isiZulu. The main objectives of this study are to review language policies on the use of isiZulu in a medical context, to explore the isiZulu translation process of medical content to improve clinical communication in a clinical setting and to understand the influence of social aspects during the translation process. The study is based on two theoretical frameworks: Nord’s Functionalist theories (1992) and Vinay and Darbelnet’s translation approach (1995). This is a textual study; thus, it uses textual analysis of information from the ongoing UKZN medical school project of medical translated content. This study reflects on the translator's challenges and process when translating medical content from English into isiZulu. Moreover, it reflects on how the translator employs theories to guide the translation process. The study suggests that the isiZulu translation process of medical content for a communicative context is influenced by the social factors attached to language use and the differences in the grammatical nature of writing the languages involved in translation. The steps undertaken in the study highlight that the value of the isiZulu language to AmaZulu impacts the value of isiZulu and how isiZulu is used for communication purposes. The isiZulu language semantically dictates that certain terms should be avoided because of the derogatory status they carry on their social use, which affects the choice of terms during translation.
Exploring gamification within the teaching and learning of isiZulu first additional language: A case study on the use of Kahoot to motivate young learners.
(2023) Chiliza, Noluthando Noxolo.; Gokool, Roshni.
Traditional methods of second language learning, especially in the case of isiZulu as a First Additional Language (FAL), have often been analysed for their tedious and grammar-focused nature. These traditional methods can lead to a loss of learner commitment and inspiration. The outcome of this research study suggests that learners become disinterested due to the outdated and uninspiring teaching methods used for African languages like isiZulu. Therefore, this study seeks to explore the integration of Kahoot as an advanced instrument within the isiZulu FAL classroom to advance a more engaging and collaborative learning environment. Kahoot!, a popular gamification platform, allows learners to participate with isiZulu FAL in a fun and encouraging manner. This method signifies a departure from traditional teaching methods, aiming to reignite learners' curiosity and excitement for the language. However, there is a lack of research investigating integrating technology and gamification into the teaching and learning of isiZulu FAL, making this study particularly significant and innovative. The research targets grades 4,5 and 6 learners, aiming to evaluate the influence of Kahoot! on their isiZulu FAL learning experience. Data collection for this study is facilitated using an online questionnaire via Google Forms, allowing for effective and appropriate data gathering. Additionally, classroom observations provided a constructive qualitative perception of the learners' interactions with Kahoot! and their overall learning experiences. Existing research has proven that gamification-based platforms like Kahoot! can effectively motivate learners and advance language learning outcomes. Kahoot! is an active and engaging tool for both teaching and assessment purposes. This study aimed to contribute to the existing understanding by investigating the benefits and challenges of applying Kahoot! within the isiZulu FAL classroom by leveraging these findings. Drawing on support from previous studies that have emphasised the language learning effectiveness of Kahoot!, this research endeavours to offer perceptions and suggestions for the improved integration of Kahoot! into the isiZulu FAL curriculum. The study seeks to investigate the perception of Kahoot! as an instrumental resource for educators and learners alike, encouraging effective language learning within the isiZulu FAL context.
Ukuvezwa komlingiswa uMkabayi kaJama emibhalweni yobuciko.
(2024) Ngema, Sabelo Wilfred.; Dlamini, Phindile Dorothy.
Lolu cwaningo beluqondene ngqo noMkabayi kaJama. Kulolu cwaningo kubhekwa indlela okuvezwe ngayo uMkabayi kaJama emibhalweni yobuciko. Kube sekuvela ukuthi ziningi izindlela avezwe ngazo ngoba abantu bamchaze ngezindlela ezingefani, kepha kuzo lezo zindlela ezingefani, bukhona ubuhlobo obudamane buvela. Emibhalweni eminingi esetshenzisiwe, bonke ababhali bayavumelana ukuthi uMkabayi kaJama wayemuhle, ekhaliphile, enamandla futhi enesibindi. Kuphinde kuvele futhi ukuthi bakhona abafa ngezwi likaMkabayi kaJama. Nanxa bekhona abafa ngelakhe izwi, kuvela ukuthi likhulu iqhaza alibamba ekubunjweni kombuso wakwaZulu. Abanye baze baveze ukuthi ukube uMkabayi kaJama akazithathanga izinqumo ezinqala azithatha, ngabe ubukhosi bakwaZulu kabukho. Kanti abanye bona bathi ukube uMkabayi kaJama wayengekho, ngabe ngisho iNkosi uShaka kaSenzangakhona wayengeke alibuse leli likaPhunga noMageba. Kulolu cwaningo kusetshenziswe izinjulalwazi ezine: Injulalwazi yeJenda Soshalizeshini, uhlelo lwenzalabantu, ifemenizimu yase-Afrika, kanye newumanizimu. Lezi zinjulalwazi zibe usizo olukhulu ngoba zikwenze kwalula ukuchaza uMkabayi kaJama kanye nokweseka izinqumo azithatha. Ezinye zalezi zinjulalwazi azandile emkhakheni wezifundo zesiZulu. Ocwaningayo ukujabulele ukuzisebenzisa ngoba zilethe ulwazi olusha emkhakheni wolimi lwasekhaya. Sikhona sona isidingo salolu cwaningo ngoba luzomethula kabusha uMkabayi kaJama emphakathini nasezweni. Okwenza lokho ukuthi lolu cwaningo luveza okuningi ngoMkabayi kaJama obekungekho ocwaningweni oselwenziwe. Lapha kuvezwa okuningi okwenziwa nguye. kuphinde kuvezwe nezizathu ezamenza ukuba athathe lezo zinqumo azithatha.
Ukuqanjwa kwamagama ezindawo zamabhizinisi edolobheni lasePietermaritzburg emva konyaka we-1994 = The naming of business place names in the city of Pietermaritzburg after 1994.
(2024) Hlengwa, Simphiwe.; Ngcobo, Tholakele Ruth.
Lolu cwaningo lubheka ukuqanjwa kwamagama ezindawo zamabhizinisi edolobheni lasePietermaritzburg emva konyaka we-1994, lugxile emagameni aqanjwe ngolimi lwesiZulu. Lolu cwaningo luqhutshwa ngaphansi komkhakha wezilimi zase-Afrika eNyuvesi yaKwaZulu-Natal, lucubungula izizathu eziholela ekuqanjweni kwamagama ezindawo zamabhizinisi ngolimi lwesiZulu, incazelo yawo kanye nomqondo awuqukethe. Lolu cwaningo luhlose ukuphendula le mibuzo: Yiziphi izizathu ezenza izindawo zamabhizinisi ziqanjwe ngolimi lwesiZulu? Zithini izincazelo zamagama amabhizinisi aqanjwe ngesiZulu futhiaqukethe muphi umondo? Lolu cwaningo luhlose ukuhlaziya izizathu zokuqanjwa kwamabhizinisi ngesiZulu kanye nokuhlola imithelela yencazelo yalawa magama naloko ahlotshaniswa nako Lolu cwaningo lulandela idizayini eyikhwalithethivu, umcwaningi uqoqa ulwazi ngokubuza imibuzo kubabambiqhaza, esebenzisa uhla lwemibuzo esakuhleleka elungiselelwe kusengaphambilini. Luphinde lubuyekeze ucwaningo oselwenziwe ngaphansi kwalo mkhakha okuhlukaniswe ngezigaba ezintathu, okungukuthi sihlolisisa imisebenzi yocwaningo eyenziwe ngamagama ezindawo emhlabeni wonke jikelele, kulandele imisebenzi yocwaningo ngamagama ezindawo ezwekazi i-Afrika, siphethe ngemisebenzi yocwaningo eyenziwe eNingizimu Afrika. Injulalwazi esetshenziswe kulolu cwaningo injulalwazi yesifundoncazelo (Semantic Theory). Le njulalwazi isetshenziswa ukuhlaziya incazelo ngokukaRaper (1987) othi amagama anencazelo ehlukene kabili okukuqala uthi angamalebuli nje amele loko aqanjwe kona, kanti eyesibili yona uthi igama linika incazelo ephelele yalokho elikumele. Bese siphinda sibuka ngokukaNicolaisen (1974) othi incazelo yegama ihlukana izigaba ezintathu okuyi yilekzikhali, yi-asosiyethivu, ne-onomastiki. Indlela esetshenziswe ukwenza lolu cwaningo yipharadayimu eqondayo (interpretivism), idizayini yona eyikhwalithethivu,kanti ulwazi luqoqwe kusetshenziswa, isampula eqoka ngenhloso (purposive sampling). Lolu cwaningo lusebenzisa isampula eqoka ngenhloso kubanikazi bamabhizinisi, abangabaqambi bamagama acwaningwayo atholakala edolobheni iPietermaritzburg, njengoba kuyibo abanolwazi oludingekayo. Umcwaningi uqoke lawo mabhizinisi abona ukuthi ulwazi uyoluthola kuwo futhi luzokwenela ocwaningweni esebenzisa izindlela ebaluliwe ngenhla. Kutonyulwe ababambiqhaza abangama-50. Ulwazi luqoqwe ngokuqhuba izingxoxo ezihlelekile kusetshenziswa imibuzo elungiselelwa ngaphambilini ngokulawulwa ucwaningo oselwenziwe kulomkhakha. Ulwazi lube seluhlaziywa lwahlukaniswa ngezindikimba ezigqamile namasu anembayo njengokuqhathanisa inani lamagama aqanjwe ngendlela efanayo ngokuwahlukanisa ngamaqoqo kuqala amaningi kuye ngokulandelana kugcine amancane. Okutholakele kuveza izindikimba ezinhlanu zokuqanjwa kwamagama ngesiZulu: (1) Ukuqanjwa kusetshenziswa amagama abantu nezibongo.Kutholakale ukuthi iyona ndikimba evela kakhulu kunezinye uma kuza kunani lezindawo eziqanjwe ngamagama nezibongo zabantu. Avele kuyindlela esetshenziswa kakhulu. (2) Kulandele ukuqanjwa kusetshenziswa amagama esiZulu abuyisa ubunye, kubantu bomdabu waseNingizimu Afrika emveni konyaka we-1994. lendlela ibonisa ukushintsha okubanzi emphakathini wasePietermaritzburg ekubuyiseleni ukuzigqaja namasiko. (3) Okwesithathu kutholakale ukuthi ukuqanjwa kwezindawo zamabhizinisi abangcwabi ngamagama anika ithemba, kuvela kungezinye zezindikimba ezigqamile edolobheni iPietermaritzburg. Kutholakale ukuthi le ndlela iyasiza ukududuza labo abasuke belahlekelwe ithemba ngenxa yokushiywa izihlobo nemindeni yabo. (4) Bese kuba eyesine, yona evele ingeyokugcina uma zilandelana ngamanani kusuka kweziningi kuye ngokwehla. Lawa ngamagama eqanjwe ngenxa yomthelela wendawo nomgwaqo ibhizinisi elikuwo. Isizathu esenza le ndikimba igqame kangaka kungenxa yoMkhandlu kaMasipala wedolobha oqanjwe ngomfula uMsunduzi. Lokhu kukhombisa umthelela omkhulu wegama lesigodi noma lomfula ekuqanjweni kwamagama ezakhiwo zamabhizinisi, njengoba amagama afana nelithi "Duzi" asehlotshaniswa kakhulu nedolobha. (5) Okokugcina ukuqanjwa kwamagama kusetshenziswa iziqubulo zokubambisana emphakathini lawa asebenzisa ukuheha amakhasimende ngokuqoka isiqubulo esiletha umuzwa wobunye nenqubekela phambili Izincomo ngokungenziwa, ziningi izinhlaka ezibambe iqhaza ekubuyiseni isithunzi sezinto zomdabu kuleli ngemuva kokuphela kobandlululo ngonyaka we-1994. Ukuqanjwa kwamagama ezindawo zamabhizinisi ngezilimi zomdabu ikakhulukazi ezindaweni ezingamadolobha, abonakala enohlonze kakhulu ekubuyiseni isithunzi sabasebenzisi bolimi, nokuzigqaja nje kubantu bomdabu. • Ukusetshenziswa kwalawa magama ngendlela okuyiyona yona. • Ukugqugquzela ukuqanjwa kusetshenziswe izilimi zomdabu • Ukugcineka kwalawa magama kusetshenziswa izinhlelo ezahlukene okumele zisungulwe umkhandlu. Izincomo zocwaningo lwangesikhathi esizayo, kusanegebe ocwaningweni lwamagama edolobheni iPietermaritzburg kanye nezindawo ezakhele idolobha. Nakuba lolu cwaningo lucwaninga amagama aqanjwe kusetshenziswa ulimi lwesiZulu, asekhona namanye amagama aqanjwe ngezinye izilimi kanye nemigwaqo. • Ucwaningo olusengenziwa ngesikhathi esizayo, kucwaningo azakhiwo zezindawo ezingama tuckshop, amahholo, izndawo zokhonzela, kanye namagama amafemu. • Kusangacwaningwa amagama ezigodi eziqanjwe ngesiZulu zezindawo ezakhele iPietermaritzburg. • Ukuguquka kwamagama ezindawo zikahulumeni kanye nokuqanjwa kabusha kwazo.
Transposition and modulation in the translation of subtitles between isiZulu and English: a case of Umkhokha.
(2024) Gumede, Thandeka Mbali.; Dlamini , Phindile Dorothy.; Motsamayi, Mathodi Freddie.
This study explored the utilization of transposition and modulation as translation techniques for subtitles between isiZulu and English, focusing on the context of the South African linguistic landscape. The research addressed a notable gap in the existing literature on translation techniques, particularly concerning modulation and transposition, and contributed valuable insights into the comprehension and application of translation practices between English and isiZulu. The study aimed to achieve the following objectives: first, to gain insights into how transposition and modulation are utilized in the translation process as effective translation techniques in rendering isiZulu content into English; second, to investigate the proficient utilization of transposition and modulation in the translation of subtitles between isiZulu and English. Therefore, an interpretive paradigm is employed to develop sensitizing concepts and identify potential ideas that could foster a deeper understanding of the translation process. Furthermore, the data were randomly collected from English subtitles and isiZulu audio of the drama series Umkhokha, accessible on Showmax. The analysis focuses on the transposition and modulation techniques employed in translating Umkhokha episodes. For this purpose, Molina and Albir’s Dynamic approach to translation techniques (2002) and Vinay and Darbelnet’s linguistic model (1995) are utilized to examine and interpret the gathered data. The presentation of the study’s findings is textual, wherein the researcher explores the transposition and modulation translation techniques detected within the collected information. This study sought to provide valuable insights into the complex translation process between isiZulu and English, contributing to the advancement of translation studies in South Africa’s multilingual environment.

(2023) Mthethwa, Nomaswazi Noxolo Immaculate.; Hlongwa, Nobuhle Purity.
Luningi ucwaningo oselenziwe emkhakheni we Onamastiki. Akekho futhi ongaphika ukuthi selukhona oselenziwe olubheka izinto ezahlukahlukene kulo mkhakha. Lapha sibala ukuqanjwa kwamagama abantu, amagama ezindawo, amagama amabhilidi, njl njl. Yize lukhona nocwaningo olubheka ukuqanjwa kwamagama abalingiswa embhalweni eyahlukahlukene yesiZulu kusukela emanovelini, emidlalweni, njl njl, kepha olunye ucwaningo lusivezela ukuthi kukhona la ekusashoda khona. Kuyinto enhle ukuthi uma ababhali bemidlalo noma abaqondisi bemidlalo beqamba abalingiswa babo bacabange okuningi. Bheka ngoba uma kuhlaziywa amagama abalingiswa sithola ukuthi baqanjwe ngezindlela ezingafani. Lapha sibala indlela ababukeka ngayo, ukuthanda kwabo izinto ezithile. Abanye baqanjwe ngesimo sokuzaleka, abanye amagama abo asuselwa emlandweni. Ababhali bemidlalo bake baveze ubuhlakani lapho beqamba khona umlingiswa ngekusasa lakhe. Lapha sisho ukuthi umlingiswa kuyenzeka aqale engenye into, ashintshe ngokuhamba kwesikhathi ahambisane negama lakhe. Konke lokhu sisuke sizihlayela thina njengababukeli. Uma umlingiswa ehambisana negama lakhe emidlalweni, yilapho esibona khona ukuthi umbhali wendaba ube nobuchule ekuqambeni igama lomlingiswa. Yilokhu-ke okuhloswe ukuhlaziywa wucwaningo. Indlela abalingiswa abaqanjwe ngayo, izinhlobo zamagama ezikhona kulemidlalo kanye nokubheka ukuthi kukhona na ukuhlobana phakathi kwegama nezenzo zomlingiswa. Ucwaningo luqhutshwe ngendlela yendlelakubuka eqondayo, kusetshenziswa indlela yekhwalithethivu. 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.

(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.

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.

(2019) Hlengwa, Mzamo Effort.; Ngubane, Sihawukele Emmanuel.
NgokwaseNingizimu Afrika igama liqukethe izinto ezithile ezihambisana nokwethiwa kwalo. Igama liqukethe ubuntu kanye nobunjalo bakhe lowo owethiwe lelo gama kepha ezinye izinhlanga zilibuka njengelebuli esetshenziswa ukwetha ukuze izinto zikwazi ukuhlukaniseka. Isifundo sokwethiwa kwamagama abantu sibizwa nge-anthrophonemi okuyigatsha le-onomastiki. I-anthrophonemi ibhekene nokufundwa kwamagama abantu. Lolu cwaningo luhlose ukuveza amagama ethiwe abalingiswa abawumfuziselo wabantu abaphilayo ngenhloso yokubheka ukuthi kuyefana yini ukwethiwa kwabalingiswa nokwethiwa kwabantu emhlabeni jikelele okanye okwabantu abaphilayo. Umbuzo oqanda ikhanda wothi ngabe ababhali bamanoveli bayakuqikelela yini ukwetha jikelele uma betha abalingiswa nokuthi bayaziqikelela yini izinguqukokwetha emagameni ethiwa abalingiswa. Lokhu kwenziwa ngokuqhathanisa incazelo enanyatheliswe egameni nempilo yomlingiswa nokuthi kuyahambisana yini nencazelo yegama lomuntu ophila emhlabeni kanye nezinguqukokwetha. Injulalwazi ye-onomastiki yenhlalo neyemibhalo isetshenzisiwe ukuseka izinhloso zalolu cwaningo. Amagama atonyulwe emanovelini amathathu: Amasokisi, Ngizigwaze Ngowami nethi Ngiyabonga.
Ubuciko bokwethiwa kwamagama abalingiswa emanovelini abhalwa ngemuva konyaka wezi- 2000: kubhekwa ukwethulwa kwabalingiswa ukuthi kuyafana nokwetha jikelele.

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
What use to work in time memorial may be outdated in the current dispensation. Western feminism and African womanism does not tolerate women oppression. Hands of time are not static in so doing the tide of time ensures that people move in accordance. People, men in specific, need to adopt and adapt to a new social and political context. The constitution of the republic of South Africa 1996 dictates that women ought to be protected against harm, discrimination and any form of exploitation. The study will reveal on whether women’s place in society has changed and to what extent to represent the current political and social reality. It will also identify stereotypes that are used in depicting women. This study, therefore, attempts to explore the image of women in isiZulu literature. The study employs African womanist literary criticism as a tool in critically analysing the selected isiZulu texts. Texts in question were picked using purposive sampling. The study concludes that there is gender biasness in the way in which female characters are portrayed. Roles that women fulfil in literature do not mirror the current social and political order of the day. Women are still under the yoke of oppression regardless of their educational status. Financial dependence in women plus the institution of marriage gives men the upper hand. Zulu mores foster submissiveness in women. Women who do not abide by the patriarchal rules are constantly lambasted.
