by John Hunt (1999). Full-length drama.

Subject

Two men from Alexandra township represent the general difference between the old-South Africa township dweller, on the one hand, and the new South Africa flashy, get-rich-quick township yuppie, on the other. The third character is a working-class white Afrikaner male. They meet by chance at a crossroads in Alex and the ensuing interaction explores their experience of the new South Africa, their place in it and the fact that the differences that separated groups in the old South Africa have not all disappeared in the new.
