Selfing and concealing: Cephas Msipa and the discourse of “Umlamlankunzi” (separator of fighting bulls) in In Pursuit of Freedom and Justice. A memoir
Cephas Msipa’s political autobiography promises a lot in its title. It constructs the self as an indefatigable champion for freedom and justice in the context of colonialism and post-independence where freedom and justice were constantly under siege.

The construction of the self as moderate, non-partisan, pacific and ethical i…

It also posits that some of the perceptions th…

Introduction An interrogation of the Ndebele proverbs proves that all societies had their own idiosyncratic ways of maintaining peace and resolving conflicts rooted their histories, traditions and predispositions. It cannot be gainsaid that immanent in any society is the tendency towards conflicts and fights. This is because rather than consensus is characteristic of human relationships in all (32) Despite this tendency, the Ndebele society had i…
