The original text
Kessie Govender's first play. Basing his public comment on his experience in the building trade, the playwright launches a scathing attack on the authorities in the 1970s for spending the equivalent of the cost of a stable on a house in Chatsworth - when the stables were more structurally sound than these badly-constructed dwellings.
