Description:The second edition is here!AmaZizi – The Dlamini of Southern Africa 2nd Edition is the triumphant return of the first and only modern study of the AmaZizi people, complete with genealogies, culture and histories. The first edition was read by people exploring their family history, while historians, academics, politicians and students were quick to examine – and delight in – this unique offering. It was quickly recognised as a landmark work and all prints of the first edition sold out. The first edition gave different historical points-of-views for the reader to form their own conclusions and asked for collaboration and information. It described certain cultural practices, shared praise songs and photographs. Revised and updated, the second edition details more deeply into the genealogies, adding all new matriarchal information that could be discovered and verified. It addresses contentious issues such as the deaths surrounding male circumcision, reveals secret and sacred information regarding coming-of-age rituals to preserve knowledge for future generations and even gives explanations and information on animal sacrifice. Discover:AmaZizi history and clans;Possibly, your family tree;Praise songs, translated for those who do not speak isiXhosa;Cultural rituals;Details of ancient rites for male and female coming-of-age initiation, revealed and documented to preserve knowledge;Updated information on maternal information in the genealogies;Author’s notes on contentious and current matters, such as animal sacrifice and circumcision.This is what people had to say about the first edition:“A notable contribution to the history of AmaZizi and the history of South Africa as a whole. Where university historians have fallen short, Jongisilo Pokwana ka Menziwa has addressed the key historical issues, which really matter. This is indeed history of the people, for the people and bythe people. May others follow where Jongisilo has shown us the way!”Professor Jeff Peires, author of The House of PhaloHead of Cory Library at Rhodes University“You have made the history of your people come alive and I am convinced that whoever reads this book will find it enriching and critically engaging. The style of writing is personal and self-critical. That has made your version of the history of AmaZizi educational, informative, inspiring, provocative,engaging, challenging and insightful. Congratulations!”Sibongiseni MkhizeHistorian and CEO of Robben Island“In these days of African Rennaisance, where our educated intellectuals are calling for the rise of Africa, this book... serves as a timely reminder that Africans have organic building blocks, the clans, which can be used to uplift the less fortunate by the better endowed. Centuries of colonial domination and racism have had such a profound impact on the psyche of the African that he tends to view recognition of his cultural identity as something to be ashamed of because his colonisers have told him that to be liberated and progressive you need to denounce that identity as it is tantamount to tribalism. The colonisers, on the other hand, continue to live out their dreams by sticking with each other. They look after each other wherever they may be. Upon reading this book amaZizi will identify with its contents and, hopefully, revive their solidarity and honour their ascendants by ensuring that no Zizi will go hungry, sleep out in the cold or remain unclothed while their stomachs are full, live inpalatial luxury, with more clothes than they need. Other clans should be aroused to act likewise... I recommend it.”iNkosi Phathekile Holomisa (Ah! Dilizintaba)Head of the Hegebe Clan, President of ContralesaSouth African MP“MaZizi into endizayithetha inye, ndiyabulela Jongisilo. Bathi abakwazi ukuthetha, into iyane ivuke apho ibikho. Inoba ke licebo eli elenziwa nguThixo lokuvuselela umnombowakokwethu. Nalento idala ukuba ude usibize yimbeko, iqala apha endlini. Uthi ke uThixo beka uyihlo nonyoko ukuze imihla yakho yolulwe emhlabeni. Liyinyaniso eligama lithethwa nguMageju lokuba xa sibizelwa iintlanganiso ezikumila kunje sakukwenza wonke unako nako ukuba sibekho noxa sesingamaxhego amadala ngoluhlobo, siyabulela Dlamini ngalo ndlela, enkosi.”Prince Makhwezana Irvin Pokwana ka Menziwa “Jongisilo, I recognise your efforts in contributing to preserving this indigenous knowledge.
