The telling of stories: the value of izinganekwane and iintsomi: Lebo and Onini
Lebo and Onini are Psychology honour students at Pmb Campus. Their project reports on the findings of two qualitative research studies conducted in KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape on the practice of telling stories, the value of these stories and the consequences of their demise. The question this presentation raises is: should the practice of telling iintsomi and izinganegwane be retained or discarded?

I like the point made of telling izinganekwane above the point of entertaining - DG
A very informative presentation with a lot of things to discuss; and to advocate for in government as members of the black communities. ACCES TO ART BY CHILDREN IN KZN - S. Magwenyana
Its a very interesting research topic and agree with the fact that story telling must be practiced as they wil remind Africans of their background and also through story telling our society's behaviours could change for the better - Jabu Mnidi
Rather interesting way to look at how people get to construct/make meaning through cultural folk tales. - Sphindile Tshambi
Given the presence of the media (TV, radios) izinganekwane may not be so popular. There is a need to further explore the relationship izinganekwane has with the idea of positive behaviours. This shoudl be in line with current SA problems (e.g., HIV/AIDS, crime, etc.) - Sanele Zuma
Please continue with this academic work. There is a great need for indigenous language proficient social constructionist thinkers. - anonymous
Maybe the problem with izinganekwane is that they are based on old stories that had been told over and over. Perhaps we need to come up with new stories thatkids of today can relate to. - Roger Philo
I thought this intsomi presentation coulsd make a differnece in terms of changing the participants perception toward HIV/AIDS and it could bring about postive outcomes as they grow up. - S. Ndlovu
I would like to get a chance to read some of the izingabekwane & intsomi. - Tarryn Frankish
The study has good implications for further research on the impact of intsomi on behaviour (especially of adolescents). Intsomi can be very helpful in instilling less risky behavioural values in a child's early development frame. Also I felt that the study could also be very helpful in understanding the impact of intsomi in construction of group idenity. Xoli Mkhize
An interesting topic from young presenters, making a strong point about looking back on our values as black people. - S. Magwenyane
