[Source - Carolyn Hamilton for FHYA, 2017: This typescript was part of an experimental attempt by Swaziland Oral History Project in the early 1990s in producing edited English texts based on original interviews. The experiments were regarded as unsuccessful and the edited typescripts rejected as research materials. The FHYA includes this material in the exemplar because the typed text is searchable and thus has the capacity to act as a form of "index" - e-dex - to the handwritten transcripts and the original sound recordings (in this case the original sound recordings are missing from WITS Historical Papers). This is in line with the FHYA's commitment to the principle of maximum word-based searchability.] [Source - Debra Pryor for FHYA, 2025, using SWOHP materials: Bongani Mkhatshwa (also referred to as Bongani Nathan Nxumalo and Bongani Mnguni) was interviewed by Dumisa Dlamini at the Swaziland Broadcasting Services on 1 July 1982. The title of this experimental edited typescript is 'There are many ways to argue about the history of the Swazi'.]
