Dr Thokozani Mhlambi presents: The story is a retrieval of the aura of the ancient capital of King Dingane, the Zulu emperor in the 1830s. His capital called Umgungundlovu was a site of fascination both for African communities and European settlers alike. Reports of the capital travelled as far as the kingdom of Basutho, the Cape and many other places. The work fuses African and classical elements. It features Mhlambi on baroque cello and voice, plus string and vocal ensemble.
