King Mzilikazi Kamashobane by Nthebe Molope

The story of King Mzilikazi kaMashobane is a narrative that has been almost
forgotten after it was first written and told almost exclusively by white missionaries,
travellers, traders and slavers and was thus greatly slanted. Fortunately, on the other
hand the story has been kept current and residual in the minds and lives of people
through izibongo, oral history and izithakazelo. As such the book juxtaposes the two
sides through desktop research where various authors’ inputs are blended with first
hand research inputs from traditional houses and descendants of various
protagonists.
