As part of her work for agitation she work a number of important pamphlets, reviews, and books, the most famous of which turned out to be 'The Role of Missionaries in Conquest', (written under the pen name Nosipho Majeke, meaning "gift of Jack" in isiXhosa), where she chronicled the strict collaboration and synergy that was in place between Western missionary efforts and the extractivist goals of colonialism. She also wrote novels and short stories. She is famous for having penned the well-known line, often falsely attributed to Desmond Tutu, that "When the white man arrived, he had the Bible and we had the land; now, we have the Bible and he has the land."
