Titabet and the Takumbeng is a play that relives the unprecedented
political upheaval of the 1992 first ever multiparty presidential
elections in Cameroon. Following the controversial elections,
Bamenda - the stronghold of the main opposition party, the Social
Democratic Front (SDF) - was plunged into a tense and intense civil
disobedience campaign. The violence which ensued pitted SDF
militants who claimed their victory was stolen against regime
loyalists. The government reacted by imposing a curfew on Bamenda.
The army that was dispatched to keep the peace committed ferocious
kidnapping, rape, theft and torture, driving women, children and
men into the arms of terror. Titabet the protagonist emerges as the
leader of the oppressed. He and the sacred women's cult of
Takumbeng were the only hope for the people. The sacred cleansing
cult and Titabet's courageous resistance apparently brought an end
to what would have been too devastating a tale to narrate. Kehbuma
