Ndebele's werk kenmerkt zich door een sterke sociale en politieke ondertoon, waarbij thema's als identiteit, ontheemding en de strijd voor rechtvaardigheid worden onderzocht. Zijn schrijven, vaak geïnspireerd door zijn eigen levenservaringen, duikt in de complexiteit van de menselijke conditie in een postkoloniale context. Door zijn proza probeert hij verborgen waarheden te ontdekken en een stem te geven aan de gemarginaliseerden. Zijn literaire bijdrage ligt in zijn precieze en emotioneel resonante weergave van geschiedenis en cultuur.
Bernard loves is aunts, but he hates being kissed by them. It's time to take a stand. No more kissing! says Bernard, and he means it.
