This is an Afrikaans version of Turn Him Out, a farce in one act by Thomas John Williams (1824-1874), translated and adapted into Afrikaans by G.P. du Toit in 1898 as Een Misverstand ("A Misunderstanding").
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 been in Afrikaans.
1914: Performed on 28 September 1914 by the Debating Society of Nooitgedacht South in the Oudtshoorn district.
