Wow what a book! "Inkinsela yase Mgungundlovu " by Sibusiso Nyembezi was 1st published in 1961 and yet still such a captivating story! Ndebenkulu is so slick and really had the community of Nyanyadu around his little finger! Thank goodness for those who saw right through his lies!! It took me quite a while to read this book because I read other books in between. When I actually focused on the book, I just couldnt put it down. The book is written in isiZulu and I just love that! I really need to read more Zulu novels! Absolutely loved loved loved this book!

Lena indaba yendoda eyisigebengu ezishintsha igama nangendlela ebukeka ngayo ezindaweni ezihlukene. Uma ifika eNyanyadu izibize ngo Ndebenkulu yathi iyindoda esondelene nabelungu ingakwazi ukusiza abantu badayise izinkomo zabo ezindalini nasezilaheni ngemali ephezulu.

Ngenxa yokuthi indawo yase Nyanyadu indawo esemakhaya eyayisadla ngoludala ngesikhathi umlobi ongasekho ebhala lencwadi, kwakulula ukuyengeka kwabantu yilabo abasebehlala emadolobheni.

Ngenhlanhla ngenxa yokuthi bese bekhona abantwana asebethe ukufunda abesebebona into uma ingalungile, noma zacishe zahamaba izinkomo zabanumzane, sabanjwa isigebengu ekugcineni.

Into engiyiphawulile kulencwadi ukuthi umbhali cha wayenesiphiwo esikhulu sokubhala. Wayekwazi ukuchaza indaba nabalingiswa ubabone ngamehlo engqondo, enjalo nje ubekwazi ukuhlekisa umfundi ngendlela achaza ngakhona izigameko nezenzo zabalingiswa.

Indaba lena ixwayisa thina bafundi nomphakathi ngezigebengu ezifika phakathi kwethu zisithembise umhlaba nezulu. Okungikhanyele ke mina ukuthi noma lencwadi kweyakudala kangaka ngama 60’s kodwa iseluleko asikaguquki. Namanje sinabo laba esibabiza ngama con-artists. Isibonelo nje ilama bhanoyi ahlale edla abantu izimali bese ayaphahlazeka nisale ningena lutho zidle izihlakaniphi.

Ifa leziwula lidliwa izihlakaniphi. Izigebengu ziyahlela kuqala ziyothi zifika kuwe ziyobe zinazo zonke izimpendulo ongase ube nazo, ziphethe nobufakazi balapho asebesebenze khona. Kanti futhi banolimi olushelelayo, olumnandi. Uyosala ungenamali sewuyengekile

Sibonge Nyembezi! Shamase!!! Wayibeka induku ebandla

I think the book was full of humor, for I laughed a lot..., however it had lot of lessons to be learned by those who think rural people can be scammed just like that. In addition, it showed me that people from the country do need educated youth that will prevent the exploitation of the elderly by people who carry education in a concrete operational stage advocated by Piaget.
