A, Zweliyazuza , isiXhosa e-dex

[Source - Debra Pryor for FHYA, 2023: Where the FHYA has been unable to obtain a digital copy of a press article, such as when institutions withhold open access to digital copies, FHYA inserts a placeholder for the absent or withheld item. The placeholder signals the article's existence in the physical archive /public domain, and acts as a proposal for its future inclusion in the digital archive. In line with its commitment to making material openly accessible and electronically searchable, the FHYA commissioned e-dexes (a special type of transcript) of selected articles published by S.E.K. Mqhayi in a variety of newspapers and books from 1901-1944 to form part of the 'Materials written and collected by Samuel Edward Krune Mqhayi and associated materials' archival curation on EMANDULO. While the e-dexes seek to be as accurate renditions of the press articles as possible, they do not purport to be faithful transcriptions. Rather, the readily searchable e-dexes are a type of finding aid that point to the published newspaper articles. This e-dex was produced using both the Umteteli wa Bantu press article (p 14) published by Mqhayi held in the South African Library and the version of the article published in Opland, J. and Mtuze, P. T. (Eds. & trans.). (2009). Abantu Besizwe: Historical and Biographical Writings, 1902-1944, S E K Mqhayi. Johannesburg: Wits Press We invite any institution or person that holds a copy of this newspaper article to make it openly accessible for researchers to use by uploading a digital copy via the Contributions button at the bottom of the EMANDULO webpage.
