Little Suns (2015)
“They were led by Mhlontlo and the elders of the House of Matiwane. Mhlontlo’s uncle Gxumisa was not one of them. He remained with the rest of amabutho at Sulenkama who had to be prepared for war under his command in case of an attack by the Red Coats of the Cape Mounted Riflemen. Before Davis was taken away to his mother by amakhumsha the night before, he assured Mhlontlo that the killing of Hope, which he variously called murder and assassination, would not be the end of the story. The CMR wou...ld not rest until they avenged his death. amaMpondomise should therefore prepare for war.
