Menslikheid van struggle slim verken
Cadre Laager, Markteater, Newtown Die ervaringe van wit soldate in die Grensoorlog word die laaste jare in boek ná boek oopgeskryf. Die van swart soldate van bevrydingsbewegings in en buite Suid-Afrika is egter nog grootliks ‘n geslote boek. In die opsig lewer Omphile Molusi met Cadre, ‘n toneelstuk wat deur sy oom se lewe geinspireer is, ‘n belangrike bydrae tot die dokumentering van die geskiedenis.

It is simultaneously a reflection on the meaning of change, as it seeks to explore the extent to which people’s dreams and hopes have been fulfilled in the new order, while also paying tribute to those sacrificed in the Struggle.
