Tshepang: The Third Testament

In 2001 South Africa was devestated by the news of a brutal rape of a nine-month-old child who came to be known as baby Tshepang. Once the story of baby Tshepang hit the headlines, the scab was torn off a festering wound. Weaving together ‘twenty thousand stories’ (the number of reported child rapes in South Africa each year), Tshepang is a play about love, forgiveness and the difficulties of coming to terms with a violation of this magnitude.
