FULL SUMMARY:
In Chapter 7, "IzIpoki," the protagonist, Sishebo, endures an anxiety-riddled journey, spurred by his cousin Ngobese's tales about the supernatural being called IzIpoki. Contemplating on Ngobese's stories and nursing a burning log to ward off IzIpoki, Sishebo speedily travels home. The announcement of Sishebo's arrival instigates Ngobese to warmly welcome him, and despite his unease, Sishebo affirms his intention to bring his horse, Washesha, back home. An intense discussion between Ngobese and Sishebo unfolds. Ngobese stubbornly insists that Sishebo should not leave, emphasizing the dangers of IzIpoki, which sparks a recollection in Sishebo about his burning log meant as a precautionary measure against such beings. The conversation escalates into an argument, which escalates further when Sishebo stubbornly refuses to heed Ngobese's warnings. Visualizations of looming IzIpoki terrorizing the area trouble Sishebo, his thoughts shaped by Ngobese's anecdotes, the latter's neighbor's witness, and town rumors. Despite the escalating fear and uncertainty, Sishebo dismisses the supposed IzIpoki to be examples of superstition, even when he senses an unexplainable presence. His journey continues with unease, Washesha moving swiftly towards Sibotho River. His encounter with an oncoming horseman triggers tantalizing fear, mistaking the rider for an IzIpoki. An anticlimactic resolution unfolds as the rider turns out to be Maphumulo, a familiar figure to Sishebo, dissipating the tension and ending the chapter in relief and camaraderie.
