"This book tells of Muzila, the son of Shoshangana, and the father of Nghunghunyani. After the death of Shoshangana, Muzila was determined to take control of the Gaza-Nguni kingdom from his brother, Mawewe. After a bitter struggle, and many battles, Muzila assumed the kingship. Even though he was a master statesman and military leader, Muzila began to find it difficult to maintain full control of the whole Gaza kingdom. Muzila, a shrewd politician, steered this multi-cultural and multi-ethnic kingdom through rapidly changing times, finally making an alliance with the Portuguese shortly before his death."--Publisher's website.
