***Jordan Kush Ngubane, the great intellectual and great journalist, and editor of Inkundla ya Bantu, claimed to the biographer of H. I. E. Dhlomo (The New African: A Study of the Life and Work of H. I. E. Dhlomo [Ravan Press, Johannesburg, 1985[), Professor Tim Couzens, that “Peregrino of the Crossroads” was a conjoint pseudonym of Dhlomo and himself, since they were ‘intellectual brothers’. However, without doubting that they were intellecual siblings, given that quite a few of these writings are on music and on New Negro modernity, beside ample internal evidence, all indications are that H. I. E. Dhlomo was the sole author under the designation of “Peregrino of the Crossroads”.  In his voluminous writings over 40 years, not once did Jordan Ngubane betray an interest in musical matters, nor did he in his 15-year exile (1970-1985) in Washington D. C. show the slightest fascination with African American culture.
