Essay that explores the nature of "vision" as a core metaphor for ontology in Swazi culture and its manifestations in ritual and religious life and royal government discourse.
some of the words on the clip are wrong and not SiSwati...but general Nguni words... this has compromised some of your conclusions.... " Kubhekela" is not a Swazi word. Kubheka is siswati but it just means the act of opening one's eyes, and has no connotations of watching as it does in Zulu... such words which are Nguni and understood in the Nguni languages do not necessarily have the same meaning in all Nguni dialects.... you might want to look at that, because it compromises your work..
