This unique book is the first ever written in isiZulu by a Zulu author. Magema Fuze wrote it in the early 1900s, and published it privately in 1922 under the title Abantu Abamnyama, Lapa Bavela Ngakona.

In this fascinating work, the author gives his views on racial origins and differences, and describes the settlement of the black people throughout Natal. He records the traditional customs of the Zulu people, and gives an overview of Zulu history during the turbulent period of the nineteenth century, from the perspective of the black people who lived through it.

Integrated with this is Bishop Colenso’s account of Natal history, which Fuze reproduces and comments on. Of added interest is Hlonipha Mokoena’s foreword that offers insightful commentary on the contextual realities and challenges of the time.

Abantu Abamnyama is a resource to be valued, providing unique source material on Zulu history and Zulu life in the time of Shaka and beyond. It will be of interest to anyone who has ever asked themselves, 'Where did the black people come from?'.
