Ingilube Overview

The Manuscript, Ingilube, follows the adventures of a young Zulu boy in the first half of the nineteenth century.  Conceived out of wedlock, Ingilube’s life is fraught with torment and ridicule and he plots his mischievous revenge on the small village in which he resides.

 Unbeknown to Ingilube, his life is of great significance to the Zulu people and he is blessed with the wisdom of the Sangoma (Witchdoctor).

It is during his adolescence that Ingilube is sent away to the mountains to be taught by the mysterious and much feared Magogo – a Master of witchcraft.

Ingilube triumphs through physical beatings of his peers and the tragedy of his mother’s assassination before moving on to a series of adventures and exciting encounters including the first interface with English and Dutch Settlers.

Through his progression into manhood, Ingilube cherishes his love for the beautiful Thandi and his adventures lead him on a path back towards her.

Ingilube was written as a “teens” read, however, has been extremely positively received by critics of all ages.  Combining raucous humour with moments of great sadness, Ingilube is a factually correct manuscript that follows the rise and fall of King Shaka and his evil successor Dingane.
