¹ The Zulu king has slammed the Ya Mampela slogan for being slang and not “proper Zulu”, and its use has been describes as “dangerous as it kills authentic African languages” (“Zulu king gets TV slogan trashed” http://www.filmmaker.co.za, 15 July 2005). Some Xhosa traditional leaders tried to have Chris Mann's play, Thuthula, withdrawn from the Grahamstown Festival because they believed it portrayed their history negatively (Ncedo Kumbaca ‘King, chiefs to meet to discuss Xhosa love play', Dispatch 5 June 2003), and Heywood's book has elicited passionate and damning reviews by John Karmemeyer and Ampie Coetzee for its alleged mis-representation of Afrikaans literature. Coetzee goes as far as saying that the book will contribute to the demise of the Afrikaans language and accuses the publisher of perpetuating a new and atrocious (“gruwelike“) strain of colonisation. Kannemeyer calls on CUP to halt distribution and to destroy all remaining stock.
