View source for Oom Gawerjal se Dogters en die Stemkoors

("Uncle Gawerjal's Daughters and the Election Fever") by [[Hendrik Hanekom]]. A  comedy/farce in three/four acts (this varied as the play toured) Written hastily for his first professional company tour in 1925 when [[C.J. Langenhoven]] refused him the rights to his play ''[[Die Wêreld die Draai]]''. Apparently he used some of Langenhoven's plays, as well as [[Melt Brink]]'s well-known comedy on women's emancipation (''[[O. die Muise! Of Stemreg vir Vrouwe]]'' - "O, the Mice! Or The Vote for Women"), as models. First performed by [[Afrikaanse Toneelspelers|Afrikaanse Spelers]] in October 1925 in Pretoria, then went on tour of the Transvaal, in tandem with his melodrama ''[[Liefde en Geldsug]]''  ("Love and Avarice").
