Have You Seen Zandile? is 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.
This collection of stories, narrate by South Africa's popular
performance storyteller, in her inimitable style, is drawn from her
well known book Stories of Africa. In addition, there are a number
of songs, most of them written by Gcina Mhlophe - with the
exception of "Nansi imfene emthini - Baboon in the tree" (which is
a well known traditional children's song). Listeners of young and
old will enjoy the passion of the stories, the joy of the songs,
now in their mother tongue, isiZulu.

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.
