    A critical analysis of three selected themes in the isixhosa literary text: ngenxa yesithembiso
    (University of the Western Cape, 2023) Diko, Thina; Kaschula, Russell
    This study chooses to be contemporary and relevant by systemaically, and carefully locating pertinent themes from a selected isiXhosa text titled Ngenxa Yesithembiso. In so doing, themes of corruption and money laundering, drug abuse and Gender- Based Violence (GBV) are the points of departure for this study. The process that is followed rests on the fact that South Africa is engulfed by many challenges and as such, isiXhosa literary texts ought to be regarded and accepted as ones that may potentially contribute to the process of addressing many South African challenges. The motive behind this study is presented, and the problematised phenomenon is argued for. Qualitative research methodology, alongside critical theory, is employed to advance the debates of this study. This is because isiXhosa literature fits within the arena of academic inquiry and therefore, it is prudent that a systemic technique and approach is utilised. Subsequently, the structure of the whole study is presented through a chapter outline. The reference list is available to ensure that the research ethics and the integrity of the university are met.
