Masalanabo Modjadji

Masalanabo Modjadji II (died 1894) was the second Rain Queen of the South African Balobedu people.

During the native "location policies" of the early 1890s, Commandant-General Piet Joubert (1834–1900) surrounded the Rain Queen's home until she was forced to give herself up.

"After four days," Changuion continues, an elderly black woman was carried out on a litter, accompanied by her chief indunas, to negotiate with the white people.

[2] At some point the royal council designated the daughter of her "sister" and "great wife" Leakhali as heir to the throne.

Critics argue that the representation of womanhood in the book and similar works in the field of literary tourism did not only mirror and further imperialist initiatives but "She is also a thinly disguised allegorical admonition to recognize and dispel the threat that the New Woman posed to late-Victorian society".
