1898: Performed by the Gedenkschool der Hugenoten in Paarl on 10 December, as part of an "entertainement". L.W.B. Binge (1969, pp.27 and 43) maintains this was the first programme he could find of a performance in Afrikaans, though the programme listed it as a "Dutch Play". The author later assured him it had in fact been in Afrikaans.
