The Lawsuit of the Twins

R169,95

“I’m laying a charge!” Which of the twins – Babini or Wele – should inherit the homestead when their father dies? This classic tale of a court case among the Xhosa in precolonial times shows how the law and justice were applied with wisdom and consultation, and the importance of social values in these rulings. With his captivating court poetry and narrative structure, SEK Mqhayi crafts a compelling story that echoes traditional Xhosa oral art forms.
