β¦ Synopsis
In the Eastern Cape, Stephen (Malusi) Mzamane, a young Anglican priest, must journey to his motherβs rural home to inform her of his elder brotherβs death.
First educated at the Native College in Grahamstown, Stephen was sent to England in 1869 for training at the Missionary College in Canterbury. But on his return to South Africa, relegated to a dilapidated mission near Fort Beaufort, he had to confront not only the prejudices of a colonial society but the discrimination within the Church itself.
Conflicted between his loyalties to the amaNgqika people, for whom his brother fought, and the colonial cause he as Reverend Mzamane is expected to uphold, Stephenβs journey to his motherβs home proves decisive in resolving the contradictions that tear at his heart.
