Description: "Credo Vuzamazulu Mutwa is a practising witch-doctor in a township outside Johannesburg. Brought up as a Christian, he has now returned to the faith of his ancestors. Through his mother, he claims descent from the witch-doctor of Dingana, Shaka's brother. The African's history of Africa has, hitherto, existed only in the oral tradition. Credo Mutwa's purpose is to take the oral traditions of southern Africa and record them before they are lost for ever. He writes about many things, including the Phoenician, Portuguese and Arab presence in Africa, and the legends of the building Zimbabwe. He gives an original account also of the killing of the Voortrekker hero, Piet Retief, by the women of Dingana's court. '. . . an enthralling piece of work' Tom Stacey in the 'It had me spellbound right to the last page and way past midnight' 'It is richly told in Haggard like a cadences and will intrigue and fascinate even the wariest reader
