Die Uur van Vergelding by McGuire/Gunther (1930)
Die Uur van Vergelding is the Afrikaans title given to a popular translation (possibly by A.E. Carinus-Holzhausen) of a play ostensibly by Friedrich Gunter, and performed by the Hanekom Company. However, according to Ludwig Binge (1969), this was more likely to have been a translation of The Divorce Question by William Anthony McGuire. Thus the translation may have been a Dutch or German version by Gunter, or the name was used to avoid copyright issues.
Die Uur van Vergelding by Jac J. Brits (1959)
An original one-act play, published in Tydskrif vir Letterkunde, 9(3):65-74. Sept 1959.
