 === Sotho drama ===
-NORTHERN SOTHO PLAYS FROM 1940 – 1986: Thirty-seven plays were published between 1940 and 1986, which is very limited in comparison to the prose and poetry published in the same period. Many of the plays deal with the clash between traditional laws and ways and modern views of individual freedom, promoted by cultural interaction with the West. Thus issues such as choosing a marriage partner for oneself, circumcision, the generation gap between youths and their parents reoccur in many of the plays. The clash between Christianity and traditional beliefs is also a common theme.The praise poetic* form is evident in many of the plays, as are the use of Biblical references, themes and animal dialogues.Historic plays include the lives of Kgasane, the sone of mamatlepa, a headman of Modubeng; King Mmutle II of Mphalele; Marangrang, the legendary Kone general; Shaka, and the famous Zulu king of the tribe of Zwide. many of the plays and some of the criticism demands some moralistic engagement with the subject. This may be evidence of the influence the Western Christian education system had on this literature.
