Mhudi, the first full-length novel in English by a black South
African, was written in the late 1910s. A romantic epic set in the
first half of the nineteenth century, the main action is unleashed
by King Mzilikazi's extermination campaign against the Barolong in
1832 at Kunana (nowadays Setlagole), and covers the resultant
alliance of defeated peoples with Boer frontiersmen in a resistance
movement leading to Battlehill (Vegkop, 1836) and the showdown at
the Battle of Mosega (17 January 1839). Plaatje's eponymous heroine
is an enduring symbol of the belief in a new day.
