| description | The article examined the representation and the expression of the Ndebele Customary Law of Inheritance in selected educational works at the Ordinary Level in Zimbabwean schools. The study particularly explored the application of the traditional inheritance law as expressed in different educational works in the sphere of Literature. The analysis and discussion are derived from the Customary Law and from how inheritance issues are represented and handled in Ndebele educational works. The study further reflects on some of the problems recently encountered by how the custom is applied in the modernised era. In this regard, learners through cultural education would be guided accordingly on what the customary law of inheritance entails, have a better understanding of its modifications and changes in relation to the current socio-economic conditions of times and finally appreciate it as one of the critical customs in IsiNdebele traditional education. In conclusion, the study emphasises that the application of the inheritance system has been strongly affected by Modernisation, Formal Education and Christianity. The study contributed that in spite of these inevitable challenges, the custom should be dynamic and appreciative of modifications in accordance with the prevailing socio-economic changes of the times. |
