Featured Quotation:
From Kungwa's Kraal to Umhlakaza's Place / a rumour of bellowing cattle disturbs the grass. / Like thunderclouds that bring no rain the gloom / rolls on, and softer on, into the cricket chirr / and the whimpering cry of starving children, / on, and on, and into our day.

— Guy Butler
Pilgrimage to Dias Cross (1987)
