Synopsis

"I'm laying a charge!" Which of the twins -Babini or Wele - should inherit the homestead when their father dies? This classic tale of a court case among the Xhosa in precolonial times shows how the law and justice were applied with wisdom and consultation, and the importance of social values in these rulings.
