Mthethwa confesses that he was surprised to be reminded of the differences between himself and the sugarcane workers.
Mthethwa is alive to the mythological resonance of the landscape in which he is at work, with its fires and strangely-garbed characters, and its place in literary and cultural traditions, but he is quietly working away at the assumptions, some of them his own, that shore up this mythology.
Mthethwa chose this title for his series because sugarcane is cut in straight lines, the workers placed along the rows and moving steadily forward with their machetes.

 Dingiswayo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dingiswayo was a Mthethwa chief, best known for his mentorship over a young Zulu general, Shaka Zulu, who rose to become the greatest of the Zulu kings.
We first hear of him during the wanderings of Nandi and her illegitimate son Shaka, who settled with the Mthethwa under king Jobe.
However, Dingiswayo was killed by Zwide, and the Mthethwa defeated and scattered, with the remnants reforming under Shaka.

 ZA@Play - FNB Vita Art Prize 1999: Zwelethu Mthethwa
Mthethwa's project involves a subtle revision of how subjects are presented and get to choose to represent themselves in his photographs.
Mthethwa achieves a reciprocal balance and almost collaborative working agreement with the people that he photographs, whereby their own subjectivity is carefully and actively negotiated: where choosing to define or declare oneself in a moment need not amount to vulnerable exposure, but allows, instead, a space for fantasy and reflexivity to play themselves out.
Mthethwa is a senior lecturer in photography and drawing at the Michaelis School of Fine Art.

 Shaka - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shaka served as a Mthethwa warrior for perhaps as long as ten years, and distinguished himself with his courage, though he did not, as legend has it, rise to great position.
Though he was boosted in by the Mthethwa, and his brother Sigujana was killed, the coup was relatively bloodless and accepted by the Zulu.
Shaka still recognised Dingiswayo and his larger Mthethwa clan as overlord after he returned to the Zulu, but some years later Dingiswayo was ambushed by Zwide's amaNdwandwe and killed.

Felomandla Mthethwa is deceased and Lungisani Mncwabe elected not to testify.
We are accordingly satisfied that both the applicant and Felomandla Mthethwa went to the Mncwabe house with the common intent of killing the 1st deceased and that the murder of the 1st deceased was an act associated with a political objective committed in the course of the conflicts of the past.
The mere fact that the applicant agreed with Mthethwa's explanation for killing the 2nd deceased dose not make the applicant a perpetrator or, on his version, responsible for the death of the 2nd deceased, notwithstanding the fact that he was Mthethwa's commander.

He served as a Mthethwa warrior for six years, and distinguished himself with his courage, rising to a general.
Dingiswayo, having himself been exiled after a failed attempt to oust his father, had brought back new ideas of military organisation, in particular the regiment (impi) and a chain of command.
He still recognised Dingiswayo and his larger Mthethwa clan as overlord after he returned to the Zulu, but a year later he betrayed Dingiswayo to Zwide, king of the northern Ndwandwe clan, in a divide-and-conquer strategy which benefited his still small Zulu clan.

 CPJ Protests
The government's campaign against the Swazi Observer began in November 1999, when senior investigative reporter Thulani Mthethwa alleged that police had identified a suspect in connection with the November 12, 1999 bombing of the deputy prime minister's office and the headquarters of the council of traditional chiefs.
Even though Mthethwa's article did not identify the suspect by name, police officials accused the journalist of interfering with law enforcement by disclosing details of their investigations.
On January 11, Mthethwa was again summoned to police headquarters in Mbabane, where Police Commissioner Hillary, his deputy, Esau Dube, and police public relations officer Leckinah Magagula called him a "bullying" and "irresponsible" journalist and threatened legal action unless he revealed his sources.

The Zulus were originally a small tribe that had migrated to the eastern plateau of present-day South Africa; they became a strong tribal nation largely due to the efforts of an ambitious chieftain named Shaka (reigned c.
A rebellious young man, Shaka was estranged from his father, who was a Zulu chief, and became a warrior with the Mthethwa people.
The Mthethwa paramount chieftain Dingiswayo helped Shaka become recognized as head of the Zulus after Shaka's father died in 1816.

 A R T T H R O B / R E V I E W S
Mthethwa's works present themselves with an intriguing sense of inevitability, as fruitful visual documents for a serious re/examination of some of the key social issues affecting the life of people living in the periphery of urban settlements in the post-apartheid South Africa.
Mthethwa cobbles together the different yet shared histories and experiences of his subjects in a collage of visual language.
One can say that his work is a collision of the good with the bad, the old with the new, tradition and modernity, the marginal and the dominant, the subjugated and the oppressor.

 Daily News: An oasis for Aids patients
Bhekisisa Mthethwa, mayor of the uThungulu district, one of the regions worst affected by HIV/Aids, said other "key gaps" identified by delegates at a recent stakeholders' workshop included a lack of involvement on the part of traditional leaders and healers.
Mthethwa said his municipality, which incorporates five local councils, was developing a strategic plan to combat HIV/Aids, which was not just a medical problem, but also had social and economic consequences.
Mthethwa this week presented a cheque of R35 000 to the Amangwe Village project at KwaMbonambi to help fund the training of community health care co-ord-inators, who will take HIV/Aids awareness and education to surrounding rural communities.

 KZN Wildlife - Imfolozi Culture   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
At the beginning of the 18th centary and during the ensuing sixty years, the area between the two Imfolozi rivers from the junction to the Mpila range of hills, was inhabited by africans of the Mthethwa clan under the rule of their King Dingiswayo, up to the time he was killed in 1818.
It is stated that the King in the later years of his regime before he vacated the area between the two rivers, had only kept his herd of white cattle there.
It is stated that for health reasons - the incrase in malaria infection, and in the mortality amongst their domestic stock, especially cattle, the Mthethwa clan gradually vacated the area, moving southwards towards the Nselweni River.

 culturebase.net | The international artist database | Zwelethu Mthethwa
In 1989 Zwelethu Mthethwa was awarded a Fulbright scholarship which enabled him to visit the Institute of Technology in Rochester in the USA, then on his return to South Africa and his former college in Cape Town, he was appointed as a lecturer then a research associate in 1998.
Zwelethu Mthethwa considers painting and photography to be equally important and is continually transferring notions from the one to the other field.
Many folk who, like Zwelethu Mthethwa, were born in or around 1960 grew up with television, so his paintings seem to have been influenced by sequential perception in often having a near, middle and far distance more juxtaposed than merged, as if viewed in series.

 Zwelethu Mthethwa at Jack Shainman - Brief Article Art in America - Find Articles
Mthethwa's use of a kind of ink-jet printing, particularly on canvas, instills the photos with a slightly off-register look that seems unnecessarily painterly and precious.
The one image in this series that surmounts its formal constraints is Hairdressing Salon, in which we see a woman lying back in a beauty-parlor chair, her hair in a sink, her eyes closed, her body stretched out as still as a recumbent portrait sculpture on a tomb.
Mthethwa uses the device of a photograph-within-a-photograph to strong effect in both series.

Mthethwa (42) is a senior lecturer at the University of Cape Town’s Michaelis School of Fine Art.
Mthethwa’s photography presents an insight into the reality of post-apartheid South Africa that is at once despairing and hopeful.
Sarah Schmerler, reviewing Mthethwa’s 2000 show at the Jack Shainman Gallery, commented that this is a South Africa that is “a place of poverty and transience, where progress toward freedom has been made slowly, if at all”.

The order came directly from the king in retaliation for Mthethwa's refusal to reveal his sources, but was presented as a business restructuring by the papers' board of directors.
On January 10, police summoned Mthethwa to their headquarters after his newspaper published a confidential letter from Police Commissioner Edgar Hillary to George Fivaz, his South African counterpart asking assistance in arresting two Swazi businessmen linked to Ron Smith, another Swazi businessman who was then out on bail on drug-trafficking charges.
Mthethwa, whose bylined editorial explained the paper's decision to print the commissioner's letter, was urged to explain how he obtained the document, which he refused to do.
