The Monday Play: The Somebody

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

by Bloke Modisane
After 30 years on Robben Island Kei Amatola, the hero of black South Africa, comes home to New Sophiatown. Then the statue in the township square is defaced. Is this a symbolic attack on the people's leader?
Have they lost faith in his policy of non-violence? And what of Kalamazoo, who will stop at nothing to become a Somebody?
(Stereo)
(Re-broadcast next Saturday)
