South African Fairy Tales
I hope to find some information on South African fairy tales, folktales and myths - especially Afrikaans ones.
But, please, I am not looking for the ones like Van Hunks which just about everyone here at the southern point of Africa knows! Website or links would also be appreciated, as I am unable to find any decent ones!
If you want to contact me directly, please e-mail me at: calan@highveldmail.co.za
Thank you.

Re: South African Fairy Tales
I'd be interested in this information too, expecially in X!hosa or Tswana tales.

Re: Scheub
I would also recommend Rev. Calloway: Nursery Tales, Traditions and Histories of the Zulus. Although originally published in 1868--this is an excellent bilingual edition with the Zulu ont he left, English on the right. Calloway was a pretty good scholar, contentious in his recording of the tales and provides reasonable translations of the tales as he collected them. It contains some of the really standard tales: "Untombinde" (a sort of South African "Goose Girl"), and "Umkxakaza-wakogingqwayo"-- a fabulous and complex heroine tale. I suspect the book should be available still in a good unviersity library--or else you might be able to find a used edition. (we read this collection years ago in Scheub's class--long before he had published his very excellent books on South African oral narrative)

good website
I found some very interesting traditional tales at the website www.canteach.ca I believe the way to get to them was by choosing, social studies then society and culture, then African folktales. They are all listed as traditional Zulu stories.
