The text of 12 pages was originally published in the journal Ons Klyntji and printed by the Paarlse Drukpers (1897). It was subsequently included in Di bedriegers, Magrita Prinslo, en ander Afrikaanse dramas en samesprake tot 1900, a seminal collection of early Afrikaans performance pieces compiled by F.C.L.
