Description / content note
-
"Sananapo, Sananapo, they have killed her, Sananapo! They gave me a bone which I refused, syaing I cannot eat this person because she is a Chief's daughter." Sananapo, the daughter of the Chief, was murdered. Her murderers were found by the storyteller, cooking and eating her corpose. They offered him a bone, but he refused, saying "I am not a cannibal, especially when it comes to the daughter of a Chief." Cannibalism was rare in this part of Africa and does not often occur in song or story. The last reports of it were believed to have occurred during the Zulu-Ndebele terror in the early part of the 19th century when whole tribes were driven to distraction and desperation by the Zulu raids, under the Captain Mzilikazi who was eventually driven north over the Limpopo river.
