The Weight of History

[Source - Henry Fagan for FHYA, 2022: A presentation composing a six-episode podcast featuring evidence on southern Africa's deep past as presented in James Stuart's book uBaxoxele (Incwadi ye zindaba za Bantu ba kwa Zulu, na ba seNatala), published in 1924. The evidence presented in the book was supplied by African interlocutors whose evidence can also be found in the James Stuart Papers (see also the James Stuart Archive, edited by Colin de B. Webb and John Wright, 1976-). The interlocutors in question are Mashwili kaMngoye and Ndlovu kaThimuni, each of whom had close ties with the Zulu Royal House and whom, in passages from uBaxoxele, discussed the Zulu kingdom's history in the time of their grandfathers.]
