Notes
Inscribed on a label adhered to the reverse: "This 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' (quoted from Against All Odds, Sarah Hudleston, page 44). Another work from this series is taken up in the National Gallery, Cape Town collection."
