Tshepang

The Third Testament

Lara Foot Newton,

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’?
