-Utilizing the title of the signature song of the 1956 women's march as its title and theme, and dealing with the trials and tribulations of three women in Crossroads squatter camp outside Cape Town, the play was workshopped by [[Phyllis Klotz]], [[Thobeka Macutyana]], [[Nomvula Qosha]] and [[Poppy Tsira]] (calling themselves [[Vusisiswe Players]]). In [[Itumeleng Wa-Lehure]]'s CV he claims that he wrote the play, and he does seem to be credited as part of the ensemble. However, most sources accept it as a group creation, facilitated and directed by Klotz.
