Tshepang

The Third Testament

About this book

This searing and compassionate play is inspired by the true case of Baby Tshepang who was brutally raped and which brought to light thousands of similar incidents in South Africa. Weaving together 'twenty thousand stories' (the number of reported child rapes in South Africa each year), Tshepang – The Third Testament tells a story of love, forgiveness and the difficulties of coming to terms with a violation of this magnitude. Lara Foot Newton's play is a committed act of remembrance.

poverty 
and 
social 
ills 
lead 
to 
abuse.
A 
psychological 
play? 
Undoubtedly. 
We 
are 
shown 
the
various 
unconstructive 
and 
destructive 
defences 
against
psychic 
pain, 
be 
they 
projection, 
denial 
or 
perverse 
sexuality.
Tshepang 
is 
all 
of 
these, 
but 
perhaps 
it 
is 
something 
else
as 
well.
In 
her 
introductory 
words 
Lara 
Foot 
Newton 
says 
she
was 
inspired
by 
the 
life 
and 
story 
of 
Baby 
Tshepang 
and
thousands 
like 
her. 
Simon 
moves 
beyond 
ruthlessness 
to 
a
man 
with 
‘Ruth/ruth’: 
concern 
and 
caring.
Perhaps, 
then, 
Tshepang 
is 
a 
play 
about 
love. 
Love 
as 
a
relationship. 
Love 
as 
comfort 
in 
our 
human 
journey, 
which,
for 
so 
many 
people, 
is 
one 
through 
hell, 
but 
which 
becomes
tolerable 
and 
hopeful 
with 
another’s 
empathy. 
Is 
this, 
then,
the 
author’s 
‘Testament’; 
the 
author’s 
‘Tshepang’?
