Thesis (MA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2002.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study examines the portrayal of women characters in two postcolonial Zulu novels: Asikho ndawo bakithi (1996) and Itshwe/e lempangele (1998). The study is approached from a feminist theoretical framework and focuses on gender and culture. The study concentrates on patriarchal relations because they are most widely used as the foundation for a specifically feminist investigation of sexual relations.

Abstract:
The South African Demographic and Health Survey (1998 and 2003) revealed that urban black women had the highest prevalence of overweight/obesity and central obesity across all population and gender groups. This trend was confirmed by the South African National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (SANHANES-1) who reported a substantial increase in the prevalence of obesity among black South African women. Hence, the high prevalence of overweight/obesity and central obesity among urban black South African women needs to be addressed through targeted weight loss/management interventions, as o

Abstract:
Obesity is a significant health problem in South Africa and the need for intervention in this regard has been emphasized. Existing information indicates that modifiable risk factors such as diet and physical activity may be contributing to this problem. However, little other information on many of the other potential risk factors for obesity development is available. The primary aim of this study therefore was to investigate the associations between weight status, personal and parental weight history, weight management practices (including body weight and shape satisfaction), eating behaviour
