Thank you to Esther Chilton for sharing my epic poem. prophetess in Xhosaland. I’m in Cape Town on vacation this weekend so I’ll be a bit slow getting to comments.
It was wonderful to read, Robbie … so much of our history is slowly getting lost with time.
When I’m on the ‘homework check’ with my daughter, the history they are learning today covers so little of back then…unlike how it was when we were in school.
epic…indeed.

Hi Destiny, yes, this is why I write this book and my novel about the Second Anglo overcast. It is my effort to retain our history. There is going to be an ebook which will be more affordable so hopefully more people will read it. 🙏🩵

It’s a gruesome history as with so much of colonialism.
