 A full length play about the mine-workers and their struggle against oppression under Apartheid. Drawing much on the structure of Brecht’s ''[[The Measures Taken]]'', it presents a powerful "lecture-demonstration" of black working-class life in South Africa.
 First written and performed in 1979 and the text first published by [[Polyptoton]] (London) in 1981. It was first anthologized by [[Temple Hauptfleisch]] and [[Ian Steadman]] in ''[[South African Theatre – Four Plays and an Introduction]]'' ([[HAUM Educational]], 1984), and thereafter included in a variety of other collections, including: ''[[Postcolonial Plays]]'' ([[Routledge]]); ''[[South Africa Plays]]'' ([[Nick Hern Books]], 1993) and Maponya's own collection, ''[[Doing Plays for a Change]]'' ([[Wits University Press]], 1995).
