Rural Life Experiences in South Africa

By Thomas Thozi Gwanya

Whilst Rural Life Experiences in South Africa is biographical in its approach, it outlines the evolution of traditional African communities from cultural and customary practices, to socio-economic developments, to the modernization of the rural villages. It maps out the typical structure of an African family, the supportive role of relatives and the extended family in the nurturing of a child. It covers early childhood development in the African context; the responsibility of parents in child upbringing; the influence and domination of the white traders and entrepreneurs in the life of black people in Africa. It helps to understand rural enterprise development and the crucial issues affecting local economic development. It gives the context in which the education of the African child takes place. It relates how traditional rural African communities used and took care of the limited natural resources, in the manner in which they used and cared for land, water, grasses and trees. It narrates the history of a small section of the Mpondomise tribe that settled in the Xongora village in the Eastern Cape, South Africa.
