The best IsiXhosa Book written in the 19th century
Until today, Dr. Rubusana is still the best IsiXhosa writer during the history of AmaXhosa. During his era of literature, he did not only write existing isiXhosa words, he also invented and discovered more than 1000 isiXhosa terms used in isiXhosa literature today. Thank you New Africa Books for this masterpiece.
