Gospel
ivangeli is the established Zulu Bible term, a direct loanword. Zulu traditional culture places high value on oral wisdom transmitted through elders and izibongo (praise poetry/oral history); this curriculum should present the gospel as authoritative proclaimed news, not merely one strand of oral tradition among others.
