Guided by the formalist perspective, this article presents an evaluation of Mma-Tau, the woman character in Time of the Butcherbird (1979), the novel by the South African writer, Alex La Guma. It examines the political role that she plays as well as how she is depicted to play this role, such that there is harmony between her role and her characterization. Her positive description as a huge, energetic woman wearing a mixture of male and female clothing delineates as it enhances her courageous political stand as the attire suggests a union between male and female in the struggle both against grinding poverty in the segregated city and against forced removal from her ancestral village. Her comparison to dark wood symbolises her unwavering unity with fellow villagers who the government wants to uproot from their ancestral land. As a result of her role as she leads the villagers in their resistance against relocation to a desolate strange land, Mma-Tau is the butcherbird of the title of the novel, which describes her as a ferocious woman whose ferocity is usually associated with the lioness, which, like the butcherbird, is a hunter. In her determination, focus and will lies a conviction that, being a human creation, a political order is changeable by human beings. In the process, she demonstrates La Guma’s deftness in fusing her political role with her aesthetic nature, even as she embodies an aesthetic ideal of a humane society that runs through his fictional world.
