Notes
"The painting is one of a series of works by Pemba illustrating the story of Nonquase, the Xhosa woman whose prophecy resulted in the virtual suicide of the Xhosa Nation. This was painted sometime after Pemba wrote the musical play which was undoubtedly inspired by HE Dhlomo's play "The girl who killed to save." Sarah Huddleston, Pemba: Against all Odds, Jonathan Ball Publishers, Johannesburg, 1996, page 144.
