An old Zulu named Untúswa refuses a traveller’s gold for his broad spear and explains why. His story reaches back to the impis of Tshaka, a king’s promise, raids on Basuto kraals, dances, witch-doctors and rivals, and the warrior’s part in the founding of the Matabele nation.
A vivid tale of southern African warfare, though its view of African peoples is that of an 1890s colonial writer. Download the free EPUB.
