Mazisi Kunene, 76; Zulu Poet, Teacher Fought ApartheidSeptember 19, 2006|Jocelyn Y. Stewart | Times Staff Writer
Even while living in exile, thousands of miles from South Africa, Mazisi Kunene
wrote poetry from home.
Epic poems that explain the cycles of creation and destruction, the wisdom
of the ancestors, the genius of the Zulu emperor Shaka were rooted in
Kunene's homeland, but came alive again in Los Angeles, where he lived for
nearly two decades.
Such work -- rich in African history, steeped in the nation's oral tradition -- had
a purpose beyond its artistic value. Poetry for Kunene was a weapon in the
war to liberate the nation from the brutal system of apartheid.
Late in his life, after apartheid was toppled, and the exiles had returned
home, Kunene was named the first poet laureate of democratic South Africa.
