Mbongeni Ngema and Percy Mtwa What would happen if Jesus Christ chose South Africa for His second coming? That's the theme of a remarkable play devised by two black South African actors. At first the authorities are flattered by the Saviour's choice, but when he starts to denounce injustice, they realise his explosive power and he is dealt with accordingly. The play has been widely acclaimed and opens this week in London.
