Colonial Discourse and the Jesus-fication of King Chaka
How Thomas Mofolo's Chaka Turned the Zulu Monarch into a Messiah
This book offers a re-reading of Chaka to show that Mofolo astutely deconstructs, and then reconstructs, King Chaka into a messianic figure whose life trajectory and destiny mirrors that of Jesus Christ in the Bible’s New Testament in order to subvert the colonial ethos of the time.
