Some Aspects of Hlonipha in Zulu Society

Abstract

Although the custom of ukuhlonipha is falling into disuse amongst Zulu speakers, it is still alive and practised in certain spheres of the country. This paper sets out certain present day uses of ukuhlonipha and the basic principles of this phenomenon and it focuses on the use of ukuhlonipha in showing respect according to the hierarchy of power starting from the king or chief downwards.
