MA (Tshivenda) === M.E.R. MathivhaCentre for African Languages, Arts and Culture === The study explores the value of having children in Tshivenda culture among the Vhavenda in the olden days as well as now. It deals with the value of having children in the Vhavenda culture comparing the olden days and nowadays which includes introduction, the value of children based on their gender. For instance when a boy was born, they would say, he will propagate the surname. When a girl was born, they would say, she has brought wealth to the family because she would get married and move to another family and bring the parental family dowry or cattle. The study will also look into ways in which the Vhavenḓa handles marital problems today within the family as well as issues of having children, that is adoption, surrogacy and artificial insermination.
