Who was the South African anti-apartheid activist that Mthuli ka Shezi's writings reflect?
Mthuli ka Shezi Mthuli ka Shezi (1947 - 1972) was a South African playwright and political activist. He was a student activist when he attended the University of Zululand, and in 1972 he was elected the first vice president of the Black People's Convention. His writing reflected the struggle of recovering African identity in colonial and post-colonial societies , a topic which reflects his involvement in Steve Biko's Black Consciousness Movement as well as the influence of Frantz Fanon.
Kaguvi Sekuru Kaguvi (Kagubi, Kakubi), was a "svikiro" (medium), a nationalist leader in pre-colonial Zimbabwe, and a leader in the Shona rebellion of 1896-1897 against European rule (the First Chimurenga). The soubriquet "Kaguvi" was given to him because he was said to speak for the traditional Shona spirit Mwari. When the rebellion collapsed, Kaguvi was charged with the murder of a policeman (whom he had accused of collaborating with the colonial authorities), found guilty and hanged.
