Pinkie is a play by by Pierre de Wet. A very successful Afrikaans one-act play about a young man with visionary abilities. Based on a character in St John Ervine's John Ferguson which de Wet had played for the André Huguenet-Pierre De Wet Toneelgeselskap in 1942. (The play had been translated into Afrikaans as Absalom my Seun!, and the character had been renamed "Pinkie"). A number of similar characters from other plays apparently also served as models for De Wet's play.
