Met die oog op môre

Set in Basutoland between 1837 and 1855, this verse play imagines the bond between two gifted men, King Moshoeshoe I and the French missionary Eugène Casalis, as they try for two decades to cooperate and live side by side. The king begins to end his councils with a cry to die for land that is theirs, one that still resounds, yet he also speaks of the wisdom of many peoples bound together, and of how black and white might learn to coexist.
