This novel is the first of many works of literature that takes the
great Zulu leader, king, and emperor as its subject. The story is
well-known, partly due to Mofolo but also to the works of
literature by Badian, Senghor, and Mazisi Kunene. O.R. Dathorne has
said, "The historical Chaka is only the impetus for Mofolo's
psychological study of the nature of repudiation." Mofolo presents
it as a study of human passion, of an uncontrolled and then
uncontrollable ambition leading to the moral destruction of the
character and the inevitable punishment.
