The setting for this play is a Boer potato farm during the
apartheid regime. The labourers, including prison workers, rise up
against the “Baas” and his induna, an older black man who is in
charge of the workforce. The old man’s life changes through what
happens as does that of his wife and daughter. The story is told
through the conversation of the induna’s wife and the young man who
was to have married the daughter. The rebellion on the farm hints
at a far larger con flict looming “up north”, as the young man
leaves the farm to go and fight for the freedom and dignity of his
people. Zakes Mda wrote the play in 1979 when he was in his early
twenties.
