The original text
Seeming to have been inspired by Peter Snyders's Afrikaans poem Ek is oek important ("I am also important") and featuring a Boy, a Girl, four Rappers and a Cleaner, and a number of Demonstrators, the play addresses the need to do something about cleaning up the environment, instead of just talking or demonstrating about it.
