Abstract:This article discusses the double role that radio has played in the development and promotion of Zulu literature in South Africa. On the one hand, a significant number of Zulu literary titles have been developed from radio plays. The first Zulu radio plays were broadcast in 1941, and today most radio plays are also available as dramatic texts, novels or short fiction. On the other hand, both radio adaptations of printed literary works and book reading programmes have served as tools for the promotion of written Zulu literature. This dialectical relationship between radio, in particular Radio Zulu (now Ukhozi FM), and Zulu literature is illustrated by many examples of radio plays and published literary works.
