Abstract

Edward Dumisani Sibiya uses the actions of characters to present their personality traits, physical appearance and the relationships they have among themselves, in the novel Ngiyolibala Ngifile (2010). Thus far, however, no study has been conducted that analyses this aspect of his novel. Hadebe (2018), on whose BA Honours essay this chapter is based, seems to be the only scholar who has attempted to write on this topic. The scarcity of analysis material on the subject illustrates the role of this chapter in filling the lacuna that exists in the study of Sibiya’s novel.
