This chapter explores Tiyo Soga's life as a pivotal figure in African literature, emphasizing his dual role in the colonial context.
This chapter is about the life of Tiyo Soga, the first internally educated black South African and priest, a pioneer of African literature, and a seminal intellectual. He embodies the paradox of the civilising mission. He personified the modernising influence of the missionary enterprise, but was also an indictment of the supposed moral virtue of the colonial establishment.
