Abstract	Literature enlightens and empowers human beings and adds colours to life by infusing emotions and feelings. In this regard, Zakes Mda published his fifth novel The Whale Caller in 2005 relentlessly focussing on the disparities and demarcation of the human and non-human world. The novel highlights the strengths and weaknesses of the protagonists wherein their strength becomes their weakness too. This paper chiefly analyses the sea of turbulent incident that changed the life and livelihood of the characters upside down. The despair and sorrow eventually lead to the cold-blooded survival of the characters, The Whale Caller and Saluni. The plot is quite appalling and pertinent to the themes of the contemporary and post-apartheid eras as well.
Keywords	fiction, The Whale Caller, apartheid, post-apartheid, colonialism, nature and civilization.
