'It was one of the earliest South African treason trials; the most bizarre and, seen at a distance of 100 years, perhaps the most important. Langalibalele was a rainmaker - a man of mystical attributes and human failings. But he governed the amaHlubi tribe, sprawled across the Drakensburg foothills, with a certain shrewdness. His tribe, along with its neighbours, was 'eaten up' as a punishment for Langalibalele's resistance to the government of Natal and his stand against the imperious Shepstone. and here for the first time, is the full story of that great infamy - the trial of Langalibalele, rigged by Governor Pine, inspired by Shepstone; justice tortured to achieve a conviction against the rebellious chief on a long catalogue of capital charges.'
