Ukufadalala nokuwa kwe-Journal of Natal and Zulu History kusikhumbuza kabusha ukuthi sesedlula isikhathi semibuso yobuqhwaga nokuhlwithwa komhlaba (colonialism) neyemibuso yobandlululo nengcindezelo (apartheid). Lesi sehlakalo sisikhumbuza kabusha ukuthi umphakathi waseMzansi-Afrika uya ngokwelulama njengoba usuziphethe ngombuso wentando yeningi-nje (democracy); abafundi nabacubunguli nosolwazi – abantwabethu nabazukulu – namuhla bakhuthalele °ukuyivuselela, °bayithuthukise, °bayiphindisele ezingeni okungelayo iAfrika emiphakathini yomhlaba-jikelele.
