The original text

Published by Afrikaanse Pers-Boekhandel, 1963.

There is an interview on his 84th birthday with ex actor Danie Kriel in which he claims that he had not only appeared in a play by this name, but that it had been something he had written ("een van sy eie skryfstukke") which he had written and performed in, with Joey de Koker en Wena Naudé ("Akteur kom huis toe", Media 24, 26 Junie 2015 06:03[1]). However, there is no evidence of this.
