A wonderful South African resource, still as fresh and absorbing as when it was first written. Perfectly scripted, and with Gcina Mhlophe's sure instinct for stagecraft, it recounts the very personal story of Zandile, who is snatched away from her grandmother's loving care and taken to live with her matriarchal family in rural Transkei.
Moving, funny and convincing, full of Zandile's shrewd, youthful insights, the play offers an illuminating window into the 1960s world that it depicts, with its issues of white dominance, rural hardship and black female repression.
Have You Seen Zandile? is already an established favorite in performance circles, and is fast becoming a South African classic.

words: ""I love sharing my songs and stories with others. But my
favourite way of relating them is the ancient way of my people -
telling them face to face, in front of a live audience. Oh the
thrill of seeing faces reacting to what you are saying, of feeling
the energy go from the storyteller and back again! I hope that this

you, too, will feel a story or a song awaken inside you and find
yourself wishing to tell it to others. Yes you! Because every

Gcina Mhlophe is a poet, playwright, performer and South Africa's
favorite storyteller. In this fascinating retrospective collection,
she shares her personal journey through the social and political
landscapes of the 1980s, with its recollected moments of struggle
and transformation along the way. Written in a variety of styles
and voices, ranging from anecdotal memory to historical moment to
folklore tradition, these simply presented poems and stories are by
turns funny, touching, chilling, thought-provoking and absorbing.
Love Child is a collection for the new millennium generation. It is
valuable not just for the deeply-felt personal and political
insights it has to offer, but for the accessible ease with which it
manages to capture the seminal moments of black South African
history in the preserving amber of the author's personal
recollection.
These enthralling stories are told for South Africa's children.
They are about their own everyday experiences and other magical
fantasies in the dream-filled world of childhood. If adults appear
