Cadre can refer to a political term or to the play by Omphile Molusi.

Cadre (in politics)

Technically a core group of trained or qualified people (especially military or political) appointed to organise or establish another operation or group. Used by the ANC and South African Communist Party during the struggle for independence, and later, after independence, became a term used in political and artistic expression to refer to the former "freedom fighters" or soldiers of the struggle. Occurs regularly in writings about the struggle period, and even in the post 1994 period.
