Susa Madela

When Laduma decided to honour me with a ''feather'', uphaphe, as the inflated gall bladder of a goat is called, Susa became obliged to praise the ancestors he bein Laduma's social father and nominally the kraal head, umnumzane.

Susa was extremely jealous that his younger brother Laduma had to a certain extent become famous by K. Schlosser's book '' Zauberei im Zululand''. He wanted to kill me through lighting.
