 The title of ''[[Die Joiner]]'' refers to the so called "joiners" among the Boers who sided with the British in the Anglo Boer War in some way or another.
-Written in 1976, it is a political ply, largely based on real people and events from his youth, and focusses on divisions within the Afrikaner community , represented as an inner struggle within the character Sarel - who not only seemingly "betrayed" his people in the war, but did so again by marrying a black woman in 1910. This theme is dramatized by breaking away from the realism that characterized  his earlier work,  and undertaking his first  experiment with a more symbolic approach,  splitting the main character into three versions - in this case Sarel 1, Sarel 2 and Sarel 3 - representing different facets of the Afrikaner.
+Written in 1976, it is a political play, largely based on real people and events from his youth, and focusses on divisions within the [[Afrikaner]] community , represented as an inner struggle within the character Sarel - who not only seemingly "betrayed" his people in the war, but did so again by marrying a black woman in 1910. This theme is still in tune with Fourie's notions of what he calls "[[volkstoneel]]", but dramatically it represents a break away from the realism that characterized  his earlier work. In this work he undertakes his first  experiment with a more symbolic approach,  splitting the main character into three versions - in this case Sarel 1, Sarel 2 and Sarel 3 - representing different facets of the [[Afrikaner]].
 Though published to critical acclaim by [[Tafelberg]], Cape Town, in 1976, play was not to be performed till much later. According to Fourie (in Luwes, 2012: p.202), then Prime Minister John Vorster himself instructed that the [[Performing Arts Councils]] would not be allowed to do it.
 It was finally performed in 1982 by [[CAPAB]], with a stellar cast and to critical acclaim once again.  However according to [[Nico Luwes|Luwes]] (2012: p. 207) has apparently not been done since, and is often referred to a drama to be read rather than seen in performance.
