Kwesinye sezinto zokuqala kulo nyaka, i-Wordfest yabamba ukuqaliswa kweMphuthumi Ntabeni ye-Broken River Tent (inoveli yomlobi wencwadi ebonisa ubomi kunye namaxesha e-Xhosa isiXhosa uMaqoma), ngoLwesibili kwiYunivesithi yaseRhodes.
Ukukhunjulwa ngokubonakala kwakhe ngexesha lomzabalazo wesizwe kunye ne-British colonialism eMpuma Koloni, iNtabeni isebenzisa umlingiswa kaMaqoma (ngoku ungumfanekiso womoya), ukuncedisa ekuhloliseni isiko lesiXhosa, unqulo kunye noncwadi. Umlingani wakhe oyingqiqo uFila – umfana onenkxalabo ngokomoya ozama ukulandelela iingcambu zakhe zembali – uhamba kunye noMaqoma njengokuba lowo owayesakuba ngumfundi waseXhosa. UFila ungumfundi obuyela evela eJamani kwaye ufuna ukudibanisa kwakhona kuluntu lwaseMzantsi Afrika
UMaqoma udlulisela iingxelo zembali ze-Xhosas njengoko abalinganiswa ababini bahamba kwiindawo zokubaluleka kobume besizwe. U [Maqoma] unikela ngenkxaso enyanzelisayo kumfana osweleyo kwaye unokwabelana ngokubaluleka kokubaluleka kwimiba ye-baXhosa.
Ngokubanzi, iBroken River Tent iyimigudu ye-Ntabeni ekubuyiseleni ukuphazamiseka kwembali kwi-akhawunti yeXhosa kunye nokuhlolwa ngokuthe ngqo kwenkcubeko kunye nezithethe.
