Description

The misery of Zulu people who are not allowed to own land, and are thus perpetually tenants becomes clear as we follow the Dubazana family and the horrors they endure just trying to live honestly, in the midst of the political turbulence and faction violence of the mid 1990s in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. “Justice has been done. The translation of this modern-day isiZulu classic is long overdue. Now, for the first time, the wider world out there will get drawn into the throbbing heart of the unofficial civil war that wrecked South Africa from the mid-1980s right up to the day of the first democratic elections of 1994. By turns tender and furious, this novel will change the way the world sees South Africa.” – Fred Khumalo, author
