Résumé
What We Lost In The Fire, The Untold Story of the Ndebele NationBy Bhuti MopaiBefore Shaka. Before colonisers carved borders. There stood a kingdom older than history dared to remember. What We Lost In The Fire is a sweeping and deeply personal retelling of the amaNdebele nation, one of Africa's oldest and most resilient kingdoms, with royal bloodlines tracing back to the 1300s. From King Ndebele I to the lineage of Musi, Mabhoko, and Magodongo, this book brings to light the often-overlooked history of a people who fought and survived displacement, Voortrekker invasion, British colonialism, apartheid oppression, and marginalisation under a democratic South Africa.
But this is not just a history book. It is a homecoming. Told by Bhuti Mopai, a son of the soil, this story is drawn from the living memory of his ancestors, passed down in whispers, rituals, and quiet resistance. It is shaped by the voices of his own bloodline, especially his first love, his grandmother uNaSkhosana, and the stories of Zwelabo noMngenelwa Mgidi, who kept the fire of identity burning when the world tried to blow it out.
Through these intimate family narratives, combined with powerful historical research, Mopai paints a vivid portrait of a nation whose culture was never broken, only hidden in plain sight. A nation whose sacred colours, symbols, and stories still speak. The Fire That Made Us is not just a reclaiming of history, it's a love letter to the Ndebele people, and a blazing testament to how identity endures."History wrote thus out.
With this book I am writing us back in, with heart, honour, and the story of the fire that couldn't turn us into ashes" Bhuti Mopai
