- Description
- This article analyses selected poems produced by S.E.K. Mqhayi, a well-known writer of isiXhosa poetry whose work was published in several isiXhosa early newspapers. Mqhayi is also acknowledged as the first prominent isiXhosa writer to produce poetry and novels, and is credited with initiating the transition from oral to written literature at the beginning of the 19th century. In this article, selected poems are analysed against the backdrop of gender relations among amaXhosa. The article sets out to discover how Mqhayi was able to depict and praise women and their contributions in early amaXhosa society.
