| Summary: | Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of
MASTER OF ARTS
in the Department of
THEOLOGY AND RELIGION STUDIES
at the
UNIVERSITY OF ZULULAND, 2006. === This study aims to explore various strategies that address the decline in moral values in
South Africa and also find solutions that shall enhance African Renaissance. A number of
solutions will be explored to promote a positive sense of Africanism in different aspects
of life. These will include morality, discipline, economy, culture, religion, languages,
education and other related aspects.
Moral regeneration is crucial in ensuring stability in our country; this could be the main
reason why it has been embraced with such enthusiasm. It includes taking responsibility
for all South Africans, young and old, rural or urban, rich or poor, male or female, black or
white, etc.
Some South Africans believe that an African Renaissance may be achievable through
reverting to old traditional ways of life. It is through these ways that moral values may be
inculcated successfully. 1hese views may, however, be challenged. It is also true that
other avenues relevant to present days' situations and circumstances may be applicable and
used successfully.
Whilst keeping in mind that times change, it is imperative to bear in mind that traditional
moral values stand beyond space and time. There are common values that are fundamental
to all. Those are the values that will be investigated with a view to achieve the vision of the African Renaissance.
