challenges, allowing children to witness the consequences of actions. Through these
narratives, learners explore concepts of fairness, honesty, kindness, and justice.
They learn to distinguish right from wrong and consider alternative perspectives.
Stories also spark discussions about behavior and values, helping learners
internalize morals through reflection. Repeated exposure to such literature
strengthens their moral compass and supports ethical decision-making in real-life
situations.
1.1.3
Africanisation ensures that learners’ literature authentically reflects South African
experiences, languages, values, and worldviews. It challenges Eurocentric narratives
by centering African cultures and histories, making learning relevant and
empowering for local learners. Africanisation promotes indigenous knowledge
systems, oral traditions, and local languages in literature. This not only enhances
cultural pride but also improves comprehension and engagement, as learners relate
better to familiar contexts and settings. It contributes to decolonising education and
making learning more inclusive.
