Includes bibliographical references (p. 258-284). This study has, by way of ethnographic investigation, compared the Bemba ubwinga ceremonies performed in Lusaka and the Copperbelt during the pre-colonial era and the white wedding ceremonies performed during the post-independence era. It has further investigated the nature and existence of Bemba IKS. This study employed qualitative research methods involving extensive fieldwork in Lusaka and the Copperbelt. Apart from audio-visual recordings and analysing 25 marriage ceremonies, individual and focus group interviews were conducted with participants of wedding ceremonies and a sample of research participants from various age groups. Participant observation was used to collect data, while the interviews served as a means to clarify information about ubwinga ceremonies. 2015-01-13T04:04:17Z 2015-01-13T04:04:17Z 2009 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/12141 eng application/pdf College of Music Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town
