What Zhusa child did not know the tale? In the long ago time a great evil had been loosed upon the Southlands. Demons from the mountains descended like locusts, devouring all before them. People wailed to the ancestors in anguish and even warriors trembled. But one was not afraid. When demons came to destroy his village, he alone stood with shield and spear. He struck at that dark horde with such fierceness and strength, those who bore witness said it was like watching lightening dance.

But the demons were too many. And when the warrior’s spear shattered, it seemed his end had come. But the ancestors, moved by his courage, cast a spear down from the heavens � the Umkhonto we Sizwe, the Spear of the People. The demons shielded their eyes from its brilliance and howled in fury. But wielding the Umkhonto we Sizwe, the warrior vanquished them. He then rallied the peoples of the Southlands, uniting them against the demons, who were driven into the sea. The stories never gave the warrior’s name and once the demons were defeated he left the Southlands, taking the Umkhonto we Sizwe with him. Many had sought it since, but to no avail.
