Nongqawuse

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Nongqawuse (c. 1840s ? 1898) was the Xhosa prophetess whose prophecies led to a millennialist movement that culminated in the Xhosa cattle-killing crisis of 1856?1857, in what is now the KwaZulu Natal province of the Republic of South Africa. In April or May 1856, the teenaged Nongqawuse and her friend Nombanda went to fetch water from a pool near the mouth of the Gxarha River. When she returned, Nongqawuse told her uncle and guardian Mhlakaza, a Xhosa spiritualist, that she had met the spirits of three of her ancestors.
