- Description: Zodwa Wabantu, a South African celebrity recently made popular by the Daily Sun, a local tabloid newspaper, is notorious as an older working-class woman who fearlessly challenges social norms of feminine respectability and beauty. Her assertion of sexual autonomy and her forays into self-surveillance and body-modification, mediated by the Daily Sun and other tabloid and social media platforms, could be read as a local iteration of a global postfeminist subjectivity. However, the widespread social opprobrium she faces must be accounted for: Using Connell’s model of the gender order together with a coloniality frame, I argue that northern critiques of postfeminism omit to consider the forms of patriarchy established by colonialism in southern locales such as South Africa. The local patriarchal gender order, made visible within the tabloid reportage, provides the context within which the meaning of Zodwa Wabanu’s contemporary postfeminist identity is constructed. I examine a range of Zodwa Wabantu’s (self)representations in Daily Sun and other digital media in the light of this context, and conclude that a close examination of the local gender order assists in understanding the limits of postfeminism’s hegemony.

- Description: Umba wokuguquka kwamaxesha nefuthe laseNtshona kudale uqhankqalazo, ungquzulwano novukelwano oludale unxunguphalo phakathi komzali nomntwana wakhe. Olu phando lugxile kakhulu kwincwadi kaTamsanqa ethi ‘Buzani kubawo’ nekaQangule ethi ‘Amaza’. Kuyafumaniseka ukuba ungquzulwano kwezi Drama zimbini lwenziwe kukudibana kwenkcubeko yaseNtshona neyemveli, zangquzulana. Abalinganiswa bamacala omabini baye banezinye iingqondo ezingahambelaniyo nelinye icala. Abalinganiswa abaziintloko bezi Drama zombini (ulutsha) bakholelwa kwinkcubeko yaseNtshona, babe abazali babo bona bekholelwa kwinkcubeko yemveli. Naxa abantu benkcubeko yemveli babeqhubeka nenkcubeko yabo yemveli, babengayithandi inkcubeko yaseNtshona eyamkelwe ngabantwana babo, ebenza ukuba bayijongele phantsi inkcubeko yabo yemveli. Apha ndizama ukuveza ukuguquka kwamaxesha ngenxa yefuthe laseNtshona okudale uqhankqalazo, ungquzulwano novukelwano phakathi komzali nomntwana nendlela oku kudala ngayo iyantlukwano ekuhlaleni naphakathi kwesizwe siphela. Oku kuza kwenziwa ngokuthi kuphononongwe nzulu ezi ncwadi zimbini zeDrama nendlela aba babhali abawudalance ngayo lo mcimbi wolu qhankqalazo. Ezinye izinto endiza kuziveza ziindlela zokuthetha ezithi zisetyenziswe ngabalinganiswa. Oku kwenziwa ngokuthi kugxeleshwe kakhulu kumagama nesigama esisetyenziswe ngaba babhali ukuzama ukuphuhlisa umxholo wabo. Unobangela wolu ngquzulwano kukuba abantu abadala abakholelwa kwinkcubeko yemveli bafuna ukuqweqwedisa abantwana abakholelwa kwinkcubeko yaseNtshona ukuba mabatshate ngenkani nabantu abangabathandiyo, nto leyo edale isiphelo esingekho sihle nokuphalala kwegazi kwezi Drama zimbini. Ngokuthe ngqo, ngokokucinga kwam, inkcubeko yaseAfrika ibonakala ikhuthaza ukuba ootata babenamalungelo angentla kwawoomama abashiyeka bona becinezelekile. Intwazana enguThobeka kuBuzani kubawo noNamhla kuAmaza bavezwe njengamaxhoba engcinezelo yamadoda xa bezibona sele begaxeleka emitshatweni namadoda abangawathandiyo. UThobeka utshatiswa noGugulethu angamaziyo ngenkani kuBuzani kubawo kanti uNamhla yena utshatiswa noSidima angamfuniyo, yena ezifunela uLizo wakhe kuAmaza. UThobeka uzibona ethobela abazali bakhe ngokuhamba aye eMthatha kuGugulethu ongamfuniyo kanti uyokuzibulalisa ngale ndoda kunye nabantwana athi ngabakhe. UNamhla kwelinye icala uthandana noLizo amthandayo ngoku angumfazi kaSidima, utshata noSidima ngomsesane abesele ewunikwe nguLizo. Unesibindi sokungenisa uLizo entangeni engekatshati kanti nangoku sele etshatile akayekanga ukungenisa uLizo apha kwaSidima. Apha ndiza kuveza uluvo lweengcali malunga neenkcubeko ezahlukileyo, unobangela wolu ngquzulwano neendlela ezinokwenziwa ukuthintela oku kungquzulana kule mihla siphila kuyo. Ukuqukumbela, isiphelo esibi sabalinganiswa senziwe kukunganyamezelani kwabantu abadala nabantwana benyanzelwa ngenkcubeko yemveli abangayifuniyo. Kuyinyaniso kona ukuba ngenxa yeenguqulelo ezininzi ezenzekileyo kweli, nezithe zalitshintsha ngokupheleleyo eli lizwe, uphando olutsha ngale miba lunganegalelo elikhulu. Ngoko ke, esi sifundo sigxile ekuphandeni nzulu ngendlela ephuhliswe ngayo le miba kwezi ncwadi zeDrama zimbini. Ababhali beethiyori ezahlukileyo ezisetyenziswe ekuhlalutyeni kolu phando benze kwakwazeka ukuchaza ngale miba yongquzulwano ngokunxulumene noncwadi. Inkcubeko ibonakala ingunozala nonobangela wendlela ubuni nongquzulwano obuthatyathwa ngayo ngabantu kwiintlanga zonke.

Age is nothing but a number: Ben 10s, sugar mummies, and the South African gender order in the Daily Sun’s Facebook page

- Description: This thesis examines how meanings of masculinity and femininity are negotiated by South Africans on a social media platform linked to a popular local tabloid newspaper. In particular it explores conversations surrounding the Ben 10 phenomenon on the Daily Sun’s Facebook page. A Ben 10 is commonly understood as a young man who enters into a sexual relationship with an older woman, mostly in township settings, and readers engage vociferously over the meanings of such relationships. Using a constructivist understanding of gender, a thematic analysis is used to examine the Facebook comments on the Daily Sun’s most popular Ben 10 stories. South Africa’s constitution promotes the right to gender equality and freedom, which contributes to the normalisation of sex in public conversations and political debate. However, with high levels of unemployment and poverty in South Africa, the narrative of masculine success through work remains relatively unattainable. This tension between the narrative of male-bread winner through work and the reality of South Africa’s poverty and unemployment has been referred to as the crisis of masculinity. This thesis will argue that tabloids can play a strong political role by providing an alternative public sphere and that they can also assist their readers in coping with life in a democratic society by creating an imagined community of people sharing common experiences.

The morphotactic constraints of verbal extensions in isiXhosa

- Description: Bantu verbal suffixes, also known as extensions, follow a rather rigid pattern when they attach to the verb. Studies (e.g. Hyman 2002, Good 2005, 2007, among others) have shown that the order followed by these extensions is: Causative, Applicative, Reciprocal, Passive (CARP). Although this pattern is widespread across Bantu, some variations in the ordering of these extensions have been observed in some languages (Kathupa 1991, Simango 1995, Sibanda 2004, among others), which suggests that the template is not as rigid as one might think. This study investigated the morphotactic constraints between four verbal extensions in isiXhosa, the Causative, Applicative, Reciprocal and Passive. It focused on the morphotactics of the transitivising extensions (Causative and Applicative) in the first instance, and morphotactics of the detransitivising extensions (Reciprocal and Passive) in the second instance. The study found that although the co-occurrence of causatives and applicatives is a regular feature in Bantu languages, isiXhosa has restrictions on the co-occurrence of these extensions on some verbs. The study also found that although Causative-Applicative is the expected order the language permits Applicative-Causative in certain contexts. With respect to the detransitivising extensions, the study revealed that there are limited contexts in which these extensions co-occur and, crucially, that these extensions are freely ordered in the language.

- Description: Olu phando luza kuthi lugxile kuphononongo lwentsingiselo efihlakeleyo ekusetyenzisweni kolwimi kwiincwadi ezikhethiweyo zesiXhosa. Isizathu sokusebenzisa ezi ncwadi kukubona ukuba ababhali bazo babe nendlela ethile ethi izalane ekubhaleni iincwadi zabo. Ikakhulu aba babhali baza kutyhilwa kungekudala baphume izandla ekusebenziseni ulwimi oluntsonkothileyo kwaye ekungelula kulowo uzifundayo ukukhawuleza ayazi intsingiselo. Loo nto iyodwa iye yakhokelela ekubeni umphandi abe nomdla ekucubunguleni le ntsingiselo kwezi ncwadi zabo. Ezona zinto zingundoqo uphando oluza kuthi lugxininise kuyo, lulwimi kuba lulo olungundoqo wolu phando nangona uphando lona luza kuqwalasela intsingiselo efihlakeleyo. Le ntsingiselo iza kuqwalaselwa kusetyenziswa ulwimi. Ulwimi sesona sixhobo siphuhlisa ngalo iingcamango ezingundoqo zentsingiselo efihlakeleyo. Ukuba asinakulusebenzisa ulwimi, oyena nobangela wokubhala awusoze uphunyezwe luphando. Yile nto uphando kunyanzelekile ukuba lungene nzulu kulwimi, ingakumbi kwisimantiki yona ijongene nentsingiselo. Uphando luza kubetha nje koomofu kumasuntswana elingwistiki angala, ifonetiki, ifonoloji, imofoloji, isimantiki, isintaksi nepragmatiki njengoko kufuneke lujongisise ulwimi ngokubanzi. Luphinde lujonge intsingiselo engundoqo nentsingiselo efihlakeleyo yamagama kwisivakalisi kodwa lona uphando lube lujolise ekutyhileni intsingiselo efihlakeleyo kwiincwadi ezikhethiweyo. Owona ndoqo kukujonga iintsingiselo ezimbini ezahlukeneyo kulwimi. Kukho intsingiselo yolwimi ubani anakho ukuyijonga njengoko eyiva okanye eyibona kuphinde kubekho intsingiselo ethi ifihlakale leyo ke ubani angasayi kukhawuleza ayibone de abe kanti uzikisa ukucinga. Uphando luza kukekelela kwiintsingiselo ezimbolo-mbini kuba lufumanisa ukuba igama elinye liyakwazi ukutshintsha intsingiselo yonke yesivakalisi. Koko kubalulekile ukuba uphando luchaphazele oomabizwafane noomabizwahluke kuba bangayijika intsingiselo yesivakalisi. Kwakhona uphando luza kujonga indlela yentsingiselo apho isivakalisi siye sivakale ngendlela ethile ezindlebeni zalowo ufunda loo tekisi, abe umbhali engajolisanga kuloo mxholo umfundi yena awuve ngendlela yakhe.

- Description: Olu phando luza kuthi lugxile kuphononongo lwentsingiselo efihlakeleyo ekusetyenzisweni kolwimi kwiincwadi ezikhethiweyo zesiXhosa. Isizathu sokusebenzisa ezi ncwadi kukubona ukuba ababhali bazo babe nendlela ethile ethi izalane ekubhaleni iincwadi zabo. Ikakhulu aba babhali baza kutyhilwa kungekudala baphume izandla ekusebenziseni ulwimi oluntsonkothileyo kwaye ekungelula kulowo uzifundayo ukukhawuleza ayazi intsingiselo. Loo nto iyodwa iye yakhokelela ekubeni umphandi abe nomdla ekucubunguleni le ntsingiselo kwezi ncwadi zabo. Ezona zinto zingundoqo uphando oluza kuthi lugxininise kuyo, lulwimi kuba lulo olungundoqo wolu phando nangona uphando lona luza kuqwalasela intsingiselo efihlakeleyo. Le ntsingiselo iza kuqwalaselwa kusetyenziswa ulwimi. Ulwimi sesona sixhobo siphuhlisa ngalo iingcamango ezingundoqo zentsingiselo efihlakeleyo. Ukuba asinakulusebenzisa ulwimi, oyena nobangela wokubhala awusoze uphunyezwe luphando. Yile nto uphando kunyanzelekile ukuba lungene nzulu kulwimi, ingakumbi kwisimantiki yona ijongene nentsingiselo. Uphando luza kubetha nje koomofu kumasuntswana elingwistiki angala, ifonetiki, ifonoloji, imofoloji, isimantiki, isintaksi nepragmatiki njengoko kufuneke lujongisise ulwimi ngokubanzi. Luphinde lujonge intsingiselo engundoqo nentsingiselo efihlakeleyo yamagama kwisivakalisi kodwa lona uphando lube lujolise ekutyhileni intsingiselo efihlakeleyo kwiincwadi ezikhethiweyo. Owona ndoqo kukujonga iintsingiselo ezimbini ezahlukeneyo kulwimi. Kukho intsingiselo yolwimi ubani anakho ukuyijonga njengoko eyiva okanye eyibona kuphinde kubekho intsingiselo ethi ifihlakale leyo ke ubani angasayi kukhawuleza ayibone de abe kanti uzikisa ukucinga. Uphando luza kukekelela kwiintsingiselo ezimbolo-mbini kuba lufumanisa ukuba igama elinye liyakwazi ukutshintsha intsingiselo yonke yesivakalisi. Koko kubalulekile ukuba uphando luchaphazele oomabizwafane noomabizwahluke kuba bangayijika intsingiselo yesivakalisi. Kwakhona uphando luza kujonga indlela yentsingiselo apho isivakalisi siye sivakale ngendlela ethile ezindlebeni zalowo ufunda loo tekisi, abe umbhali engajolisanga kuloo mxholo umfundi yena awuve ngendlela yakhe.

Understanding the livelihoods of child-grant mothers in Sinathingi in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa

- Description: The main focus of this thesis is the child support grant, as part of a broader social security system, in post-apartheid South Africa. Since the end of apartheid of 1994, the new South African government has sought to redress the racial imbalances and inequalities of the past by engaging in measures of redistribution. Central to this pursuit of redistribution has been a restructured system of social grants, of which the child support grant is the most significant. However, the post-apartheid government has adopted a largely neo-liberal macro-economic strategy such that social inequality and endemic poverty remain pervasive particularly amongst the African population, which includes the recipients of the child support grants. In adopting a sustainable livelihoods framework as the main theoretical perspective, the thesis seeks to understand the livelihoods of child support grant mothers in the face of conditions of extreme poverty. It does this through a localised study of twenty child grant mothers in Sinathingi Township in KwaZulu-Natal Province. In examining the livelihoods of these child-grant mothers, the thesis brings to the fore that mothers and their children do not exist as autonomous living units but are embedded in a broader set of social relations, including intra-household relations and relations with the fathers of the grant-children. It also demonstrates that child-grant mothers are not simply victims of structures of poverty in contemporary South Africa, but actively construct their livelihoods through a range of activities and strategies which show perseverance and ingenuity.

Public discourses on choice of termination of pregnancy in a rural area of the Eastern Cape Province in South Africa

- Description: A period of ten years has elapsed since the Choice on Termination of Pregnancy Act came into effect. Little has been done in South Africa to investigate public discourses concerning termination of pregnancy since the implementation of the Act. The social context and the quality of available support systems determine the outcome of the women’s feelings after the abortion. Knowledge about the social context is important, as it will help to understand the complexities and nuances of abortion. The aim of the research is to explore public discourses on Choice on Termination of Pregnancy (CTOP), and the potential implications of these discourses on the use of the CTOP service. The sample consisted of 23 black isiXhosa-speaking participants from the rural area of the Eastern Cape Province in South Africa. Four focus groups coming from different age groups (between the ages 18 and 52) with both men and women participated in the study. Fictitious vignettes that tap into two different scenarios regarding abortion based on women’s stories were used. Discourses that emerged from people’s text are explained, described and interpreted through a discourse analysis. Since the study was interested in public discourses it led to the discovery of 17 interpretative repertoires as follows: social stigma, abortion equated to murder, degradation of society, pregnancy as an irresponsible act, conditional acceptance, TOP in the context of marriage, future potentiality invested in the foetus, dehumanizing foetus into a clot, shared decision making responsibility, gender dynamics interpretative repertoire, negative post abortion consequences, the scolding versus the supportive nurse interpretative repertoire, alternatives interpretative repertoire, rights versus no responsibility interpretative repertoire, more knowledge needed, male and female or generational differentiation repertoire, and the positive effects repertoire. Abortion is opposed on religious and cultural grounds. TOP has been legalized in South Africa but with this a debate and conflicting views have arisen. These variations in people’s discourses may limit access to TOP for women who need the service.

Culture as a discursive resource opposing legal abortion

- Description: The notion of ‘culture’ features in the abortion literature to explicate, first, contestation of the meaning of abortion (as in the ‘culture wars’ about abortion), second, the normalisation of abortion in certain countries (as in ‘abortion culture’), third, the response of women to abortion within a particular social milieu and fourth, cross-cultural variability in attitudes towards and experiences of abortion. What is missing is an exploration of how ‘culture’ may be deployed as a discursive resource to oppose legal abortion. In this article, we report on a study conducted in a rural area of South Africa. We conducted focus group discussions utilising hypothetical vignettes to stimulate talk. Although, inconsistencies were evident in participants’ talk, in the context of cultural discussions, abortion was constructed as killing and inevitably destructive of cultural values and traditions. Abortion was equated with colonialist interventions and as something that should be opposed in the preservation of culture. Furthermore, cultural opposition to abortion was rooted in fears around the breakdown of gendered and generational power relations. Examples of how culture may be used in everyday interactions to induce shame and negative experiences are also discussed.

Examining emergent active learning processes as transformative praxis : the case of the schools and sustainability professional development programme

- Description: This is a study on the nature of learning, particularly the emergence of active learning processes in the case of an environmental education teacher professional development programme – the Eastern Cape Border-Kei cohort of the 2008 Schools and Sustainability Course. This was a part-time, one-year course supporting teachers to qualify, strengthen and deepen opportunities for environmental learning in the South African curriculum. An active learning framework (O’Donoghue, 2001) promoting teaching and learning with information, enquiry, action and reporting/reflection dimensions was integrated into the Schools and Sustainability course design to support these environmental learning opportunities. In this study, the notion of active learning is elaborated as a situated, action-oriented, deliberative and co-engaged approach to teaching and learning, and related to Bhaskar’s (1993) notion of transformative praxis. The study used a nested case study design, considering the case of six Foundation Phase teachers in six primary schools within the Border-Kei Schools and Sustainability cohort. Interviews, observations (of workshops and lesson plan implementation in classrooms) and document review of teacher portfolios (detailing course activities, lesson plans, learners’ work and learning and teaching support materials) were used to generate the bulk of the data. A critical realist theory underpinning the methodology enables a view of agency as emergent from social structures and mechanisms as elaborated in Archer’s (1998b) model of morphogenesis and Bhaskar’s (1993) model of four-planar being. The critical realist methodology also enables a view of emergent active learning processes as open-ended, responsive to particular potential, but dependent on contingencies (such as learning and teaching support materials, tools and methodologies). The analysis of emergent active learning processes focuses particularly on Bhaskar’s (1993) ontological-axiological chain (MELD schema) as a tool for analysing change. The MELD schema highlights1M ontological questions of what is (with emphasis on structures and generative mechanisms) and what could be (real, but non-actualised possibilities). It enables reflection on what mediating and interactive agential processes either reproduce what is or have the potential to transform what is to what could be (2E). Thirdly, the MELD schema enables reflection on what should be – this is the 3L “axiological moment” (Bhaskar, 1993: 9) where questions of values and ethics in relation to the holistic whole are raised. Finally, the schema raises questions (4D) of what can be, with ontologically grounded, context-sensitive and expressively veracious considerations. The study describes the agency of course tutors, teachers and learners involved in the Schools and Sustainability course, as emergent from a social-ecological context of poverty and inequality, and from an education system with a dual transformative and progressive intent (Taylor, 1999). It uses a spiral approach to cluster-based teacher professional development (Janse van Rensburg & Mhoney, 2000) focusing on the development of autonomous (Bernstein, 1990) and reflexive teachers. With teachers well-disposed and qualified to fill a variety of roles in the classroom, these generative structures and mechanisms had the power to drive active learning processes with potential for manifestation as transformative praxis. Through the analysis of the active learning processes emergent from this context, the study shows that the manifestation of transformative praxis was contingent on relational situated learning, value-based reflexive deliberations, and an action-orientation with an emphasis on an iterative relationship between learning and doing. These findings enable a reframing of an interest in action in response to environmental issue and risk, to an interest in the processes that led up to that action. This provides a nuanced vision of active learning that does not judge an educational process by its outcome. Instead, it can be judged by the depth of the insights into absences (2E), the ability to guide moral deliberations on totality (3L), and by the degree of reality congruence (1M) in the lead up to the development of transformative agency (4D). The study also has a methodological interest. It contributes to educational and social science research in that it applies dialectical critical realist philosophy to a concrete context of active learning enquiry in environmental education. It reports on the value of the onto-axiolgical chain in describing a diachronic, emergent and open-ended process; in providing ontological grounding for analysis (1M); in understanding relationality in situated learing processes (2E); in focusing on value-based reflexive learning (3L) and in understanding transformative learning as “tensed socio-spatialising process” (Bhaskar, 1993: 160) where society is emergent from a stratified ontology, and agency and change are open-ended and flexible processes not wholly determined by the social structures from which they emerge (4D). Considering the knowledge interests defined in the 2011 South African Minimum Requirements for Teacher Education (South Africa. Department of Higher Education and Training, 2011) and the Curriculum Assessment Policy Statements (CAPS) which were implemented in South Africa from 2012 (in a phased approach), the study concludes with recommendations for exploring environmental learning in the CAPS. The study proposes working with a knowledge-focused curriculum focusing on the exploration and deepening of foundational environmental concepts, developing relational situated learning processes for meaningful local application of knowledge, supporting transformative praxis through the “unity of theory and practice in practice” (Bhaskar, 1993: 9), and implementing a spiral approach to cluster-based teacher professional development.

An examination of some changes to conventions and culture in selected Xhosa drama

- Description: This study is about examining some changes to conventions and culture in selected Xhosa drama plays. Conventions are general agreements on social behaviour. They are the customary methods of presenting the elements of the text. There are no strict rules followed in the writing of plays, but there are conventions which vary from one playwright to another and from time to time. Conventions are the devices and the features of a literary work by which its kind can be recognized. Change creates anxiety, uncertainty and stress. Adaptation of culture to some changes plays a role as time passes by. To adapt to change is to be able to manage change. Managing change demands three levels of human response namely: the individual, the group and the cultural or social context. No matter how many changes are brought, different cultures should survive the changes for the nation to remain with its nationality. Industrialisation, urbanisation, religion, politics and economy are the agents of change. Also the social environment, human intelligence and culture play to a greater extent a role in the evolution process. Among other things, this study portrays that the changing times are reflected in Xhosa plays. This is the reflection of how people live, behave or do things, and think as time comes and passes. Pattern of development is traced through time, with the history being involved in the development. Change and development are unavoidable products of human thought. Development is traced from the primitive to the modern way of doing things. A modern or developed society is viewed as being capable of handling a wide variety of internal as well as external pressures. Every time a society manages a new pressure, its modernity improves. Thus, the word ‘modern’ has no time frame, as long as there is a new development, this term ‘modern’ features in. Though the study employs Evolutionary, Structuralist, Stylistic, Formalism and Marxist approaches, the branch of the Semiotic approach, Pragmatism, plays the major role in that the meaning of the texts is one of the semiotic categories. Again Semiotics deals with the writing and the interpretation of the text. Thus communication, adaptation and relating are fundamental to human existence and survival. It is easy to notice that there are old conventions that are continuing in the writings of the new generations of playwrights. This study compares and contrasts the similar conventions of dramatic texts, especially those that have the same theme and meaning. This study shows how the existing dramatic conventions are affected by time, history, economy, education, technology and some other changes. Though the dramatic conventions are said to be continuing, they also adapt to the changing time. There are conventional and cultural aspects that seem to be continuing, but it is a ‘changing continuity’. The developments or changes discussed in this study are in Xhosa drama conventions, those of culture of amaXhosa, dramatic construction of the Xhosa plays and in the interpretation of the plays.
