Xhosa Propaganda during World War II - Prof. Bhaso Ndzendze | Part 1

Join us as Prof. Ndzendze revisits this neglected yet crucial aspect of South African wartime history, highlighting the significance of indigenous-language sources in rethinking our understanding of propaganda, identity, and government-citizen relations. Much of the existing literature on South African wartime propaganda focuses on the government's efforts to rally the Afrikaner population behind the British Empire during World War II. However, an overlooked chapter unfolds in the pages of Indlovu (‘The Elephant’), a weekly newspaper published by the South African Native Military Corps, directed at Xhosa soldiers, civilians, and potential enlistees.
