The world of isiZulu literature contemporaneously received a resting place and an injection of life. The novels of C.L.S Nyembezi () and Muntu Xulu () were committed to popular memory in December 1964 and 1966 respectively, when recorded and transmitted to the listeners, while Alexius Buthelezi inducted the works of John Bunyan and John Strauss into the repertoire of isiZulu literary enthusiasts; the former being a translated version of "Pilgrim's Progress" (Uhambo lomhambi) aired in the early 1960s and the latter being an interpretation of an opera named Ibuzwa Kwabaphambili aired in January 1965.
