"A Secret of the Lebombo" explores several profound themes, including morality, justice, and survival. Central to the story is the protagonist, Wyvern, who is faced with a moral quandary after discovering two individuals stealing his sheep. The novel grapples with the tension between compassion and punishment, as Wyvern must decide whether to show mercy or enforce justice. This internal struggle reflects the broader theme of how individuals navigate their ethical responsibilities in the face of crime and betrayal. Additionally, the novel delves into the theme of survival in the unforgiving environment of South Africa's rural landscape, where physical resilience is tested alongside the need for ethical decision-making. The setting underscores the precariousness of human existence in a world where resources are scarce, and tensions between people can escalate quickly. The book also explores personal responsibility as Wyvern reflects on his actions and their consequences, as well as the broader implications of his decisions for his future. Ultimately, the novel examines how choices driven by fear, pride, and necessity shape one's identity and relationships in a world marked by conflict and uncertainty.
