Description:

This title is, based on stories derived from the oral tradition of the Xhosa-speaking peoples, particularly from the Tsolo and Qumbu districts in the former Transkei. ANC MP Pallo Jordan says that when his father, Archibald Campbell Jordan, was a lecturer in African languages at the University of Cape Town he would visit the older people in the townships to add to his collection of tales. One of his favourite haunts was a house in Stone Street in the then District Six. A number of men from the Tsolo and Qumbu districts, where he had spent his childhood, lived in the house. Every Thursday a woman and Qumbu, who worked in town, visited the house in Stone Street.
