Harold Scheub

South African Voices is a three-volume set that contains performances by the extraordinary Xhosa storyteller, Nogenile Masithathu Zenani, and other Xhosa and Zulu oral historians and poets. The materials were taped and filmed by Harold Scheub in the late 1960s and in the 1970s, as he walked along the southeastern coastal areas of Africa, collecting and documenting the stories and poems of Xhosa and Zulu peoples. Each story is annotated in English.
