QUESTION 2
It is an old African custom that folktales are
passed from one generation to the other through
a word of mouth. Do you think that the oral
tradition of folktales is still relevant in today‘s
technological world? In your discussion you
must clearly demonstrate how the oral tradition
was and also give your inputs on how it could be
done today if there is a need of moving away
from the oral tradition method.
In the context of South Africa, the oral tradition
of storytelling has deep roots in various cultures,
such as the Zulu, Xhosa, Sotho, and others.
These stories were traditionally passed down
from generation to generation, enriching the
cultural tapestry of the country. For example, the
story of the creation of the Milky Way, known as
"Umlando KaNkulunkulu" in Zulu culture, is a
tale that has been orally transmitted for
generations, teaching lessons about the origins
AFL2602 of the universe and the importance of humility.
