More about the book

The narrative reinterprets King Chaka as a messianic figure, paralleling his life with that of Jesus Christ from the New Testament. Through this lens, the author deconstructs and reconstructs Chaka's story to challenge and subvert the colonial mindset prevalent during that era. This unique approach highlights the complexities of identity and historical representation, offering a fresh perspective on both Chaka and the impact of colonialism.
