Traveller and author Treive Nicholas reclaims the tragic story of the Gcaleka clan by exploring ancient amaXhosa heritage and offering a powerful re-examination of Nongqawuse within a harshly scarred history. In his book "In Search of Nongqawuse," Nicholas tells the story of a young orphan girl whose life intersects with a catastrophic historical calamity. At the heart of this disturbing and ruinous tale is Nongqawuse, the young prophetess from the Gcaleka clan. Her intriguing spiritual prophecy captivates her community, which is already tormented, ultimately leading to the horrific mass starvation and death of thousands. This tragedy nearly devastates her people as a nation. Mbuyiseni Ndlozi is in conversation with Sociologist, Historian and Explorer, Dr JJ Klaas.
