by [[D.C. Postma]]. A historic symbolic play in Afrikaans about the life of President Paul Kruger set in 1896, at the start of the Anglo Boer War. Produced in 1934 by [[Hendrik Hanekom]], with his [[Toneelskool]] in Bloemfontein. Then he took it on the road at various times with professional companies between 1935-1938. He himself always took the title role, perhaps his greatest role. In 1941 it was again produced as fundraiser for the ''[[Reddingsdaadbond]]'' (RDB). There were calls for it to be filmed in 1935 and later, but this never happened, though there is footage available of Hanekom in the role. Published by ** in 19**.
