Abrahams, P.

...The achievements of contemporary Swahili writers such as Penina Muhando (1948-), Euphrase Kezilahabi (1944-), and others cannot be considered without Shaaban's contributions. The same can be said of writers such as Peter Abrahams (1919-), Mphahlele, and La Guma, who portrayed the brutal experiences of apartheid and brought contemporary South African literature to the world stage. In South Africa, through the lineage of suicide writers such as Can Themba (1924-69) and Nat Nakasa (1937-65), the spirit of resistance and rebellion has been inherited in the works of urban proletarian writers such as Mafika Gwala (1946-), Mtutuzeli Matshoba (1950-), and Mbulelo Mzamane (1948-), but the foundation for this was laid by southern Bantu writers such as Sotho writer Thomas Mofolo (1875-1948), Xhosa writer Samuel Mqhayi (1875-1945), and Zulu writer R. Dhlomo (1901-).
