Truth Be Told: Da's Kak in Die Land

Iconic playwright and performance poet, Maishe Maponya, surveys with passion the milestones in the making of South Africa since 1994. In richly indigenous verse and with the humour that has made it possible for them to turn defeat into victory over the years he sings of his people's struggles, their hopes, anger and pain, and above all the people's demand for something better than what they have now. His is a deeply South African voice . Fearlessly he penetrates the political and public relations smokescreen of events and lays bare the truth. Satiric poetry of a high order-these poems challenge the establishment and speak with the people's voice.
