'To thousands of Bantu tribesmen all over South Africa and beyond, Peter Becker, the author of this poignant book, is known as Vula Indlela, "the opener of the road".
Few South Africans are better qualified than he to tell this remarkable story, for during past years this young Johannesburg headmaster has travelled to all tribes, worked and lived in the kraals of great paramount chiefs, watched unique rituals and delved into the mysteries of witchcraft.
"SANDY TRACKS TO THE KRAALS" is a lively story, beautifully told, of the rise and fall of great chiefs, of warfare, annihilation and devastation among tribes. It tells of cannibalism, witchcraft and ritual murder in Basutoland, of the hazards of drought among Bechuanaland's "People of the Crocodile" and the ingenuity of Bushman hunters of the Kalahari desert.' - editor's note
