Nwelezelanga The Star Child

‘Absolute truth’ reveals that there is birth within death. The story explores how forces of the upper- and underworld, light and darkness, the known and the unknown unravel to determine her destiny. ‘Magubeni handles the sacred subject in a way that neither slants nor meddles. For this reason, when African traditionalists learn of Magubeni’s book they will be nervously curious but will discover that they needn’t have been. It will be a rare gift for the scholars, and we ordinary readers will not remember our lives before Magubeni happened.’ – Thando Mgqolozana, author of A Man Who is Not a Man, Unimportance and Hear Me Alone
