Echaza ukuthi kungani ethanda ukubhala ngezindawo zasemakhaya ezinomlando uthe, “Ngiyazithanda kakhulu izindawo zasemakhaya ngoba zinginika ukuthula. Ngeshwa, iningi lalezi zindawo azinakiwe. Kuyisifiso sami ukuthi zigcineke, zihehe izivakashi ukuze kukhule umnotho wazo.”
Ukuvezile ukuthi njengamanje ubhala incwadi esihloko sithi, Battle Of The Hills, yona ekhuluma ngeqhaza lendawo yase Showe ngezikhathi zempi kaZulu namaNgisi ngo-1879.
