Intertwining Words, Talks with South African Women in the Kwazulu-Natal Province

Abstract

This article is an attempt to draw the parallels between the way in which the Afrikaner ideology, supported by the British group, gained strength in the South African political scene - from the legal system of segregation to the racism instituted system of apartheid - and caused direct influences on daily life of the non-white South-Africans, directly affecting cosmological elements that mobilize their day-to-day. From the violence that has organized various removals in the countryside, the effects of theapartheid caused disagreements with the ancestors that people have to deal to the present day, in a movement that seeks to come to terms with the past.

Key Words:
Women; South Africa; Apartheid; Ancestry; Land
