    Aesthetics of Yoruba Culture and Religion: An Examination of the Cultural and Religious Conflicts in the Plays of Wole Soyinka.
    (University of Fort Hare, 2015) Megbowon,Funmilola Kemi
    Culture and religion are two main fibres sustaining the continued existence of a community. However, issues of cultural intersection, which is inevitable, results into diverse forms of conflicts. In the African setting, there remains, to date, a continuous conflict with the European way of life and value system. These conflicts, which are visible in differences in generational lifestyle coupled with the confusion and imbalance seen in the younger generation, are a result of the effect of colonialism on the indigenous culture, tradition, legacies and value system.

    Jackson Hlungwani a great artist of the North.
    (University of Fort Hare, 2005) Makunyane, Mashifane Phineas
    "I have respect and honour for Hlungwani's unique way of seeing things and expressing them through his creativity. He takes elements known to everybody and attaches his mythological religious meaning that is integrated with cultural favour,"1, indicated Ruth Sack during my video interview with her on the 27/06/2003 at New Town (Johannesburg). Ruth is a professional artist and the Director of the Imbali Literacy Art Project in Johannesburg. She visited Jackson Hlungwani at New Jerusalem in 1998 with a group of artists from Johannesburg. During her visit she found that BMW (South Africa), in agreement with Hlungwani, had removed all the sculptures from New Jerusalem. The sculptures were sold through exhibitions. Some were bought by art museums while others were sold privately both locally and abroad.

    The origins and philosophy of the work of Jackson Hlungwana and Lucas Sithole with reference to social significance in a changing South Africa.
    (University of Fort Hare, 1996) Baloyi, Mzamane Solomon
    In my extended essay I will be dealing with Jackson Hlungwani and Lucas Sithole. Theirs is the creative art of the marginalised, dispossessed, displaced and disadvantaged. It is an art that has endeavoured to respond to the reality of African culture and its identity which was denied the black nation, as a consequence of appropriation by European Colonialism. Colonialism disempowered blacks economically and this led to them losing an African identity. The art of Hlungwani and Sithole strove to restore and revive the lost and neglected African tradition, identity and pride.
