Abstract

(When the author concludes the story, agreement is observed between the beginning and the ending. This resemblance can be displayed by various literary techniques as different authors in their different novels portray it. In Tsietsi (1995) circularity has been clearly used to recall events that occur at the ending with those that are found in the beginning of the novel. An instance of retrospective analysis is observed in this novel since characters always think back to what happened in the past. Tsietsi looks happy and relieved since he has managed to achieve something that he long aspired for. In Meokgo ya lethabo (1992), Kgoteledi flashes back and blames herself for the injustice of the past. Through self evaluation she admits and confesses of the injustice of the past committed ostensibly to restore the dignity and integrity of her culture. Thus she confesses and asks for an apology in the presence of everybody to show that her behaviour was totally out of touch with the modern communities of Soweto and Mamelodi.)
