After centuries of colonial influence, many South Africans are reconnecting with their roots through the revival of indigenous names. This cultural shift is more than just a name change; it’s about reclaiming identity, heritage, and pride in a post-colonial world. In light of Heritage month, we’ve dedicated this hour to a conversation on Resurgence of Indigenous Names: Reclaiming Identity in Post-Colonial South Africa with my guest, Dr Yanga LP Majola, Sociolinguistic and Academic Manager for the Faculty of Humanities at the Tshwane University of Technology.
