Abstract

Afrikaans: Die tegniese skeppinge van die Molepo, woonagtig in die distrik Thabamoopo, van Lebowa, word na vervaardigingsmetode, vorm en gebruik beskryf. Die faktore, wat 'n invloed het op die produsering van tegniese skeppinge word ook behandel. Die verband van die tegniese skeppinge met die wyer kulturele verband word deeglik behandel. In die derde instansie word daar aangedui hoe die tegniese skeppinge van die Molepo soms weens die werking van invloede van buite, ontstaan het. Kontak met 'n verskeidenheid omliggende stamme word aangedui, asook die moontlike invloed wat dit op die tegniese skeppinge van die Molepo kon gehad het. 'n Aanduiding word ook gegee van die verandering waaraan die tegniese skeppinge teenswoordig onderworpe is. Verskillende redes, veral die invloed van die werking van die Westerse kultuur, word aangedui. Laastens word daar 'n uiteensetting gegee van die faktore wat aanleiding gee tot die behoud en voortbestaan van sekere van die tradisionele tegniese skeppinge.
