The final in a three-part story, this book highlights Maqoma’s lifetime concern, which was to keep the colonial patrol system from returning to Xhosaland. When his half-brother, Sandile, reached manhood in 1840, this heralded a new Rharhabe ruler and the stepping aside of Maqoma. While he accepted Sandile’s rule, he continued to work actively to maintain peace with the powerful Cape Colony.
