W.W. Gqoba’s ‘Isizatu sokuxelwa kwe nkomo ngo Nongqause’, part 2
Two decades after the Great Xhosa Cattle Killing, William Wellington Gqoba (1840-1888) – the editor of the isiXhosa newspaper Isigidimi SamaXosa – published a two-part history of the event. This podcast discusses Gqoba's second article. The second article begins with the failure of the prophecy. In it, Gqoba offers important critiques of colonial ideas of the prophecy being a ‘Chiefs’ plot’ designed to stoke up resistance to colonialism.
