Summary "Incwadi Yami; or, Twenty Years’ Personal Experience in South Africa" by J.W. Matthews is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the author's experiences as a medical practitioner and district surgeon in Natal, South Africa, detailing various aspects of colonial life, native customs, and the socio-political environment of the time. The narrative offers insights into Matthews's interactions with diverse populations, including the indigenous Zulu community and European settlers, and sets the stage for a profound exploration of medical practice and cultural encounters in colonial South Africa. The opening of this work begins with Matthews embarking on a voyage to South Africa in 1864, where he takes on the role of Surgeon Superintendent aboard the ship "Tugela". He reflects on the conditions aboard the vessel, describes the excitement of landing in Natal, and recounts his initial impressions of the landscape and people. Upon settling in Verulam, he details his assignment as district surgeon and the unique health challenges faced in the region. Readers witness the early dynamics between settlers and the native population as Matthews navigates his new life and responsibilities, providing compelling context for the events to unfold in the subsequent chapters.
