In 1966, Dimitri Tsafendas assassinated Prime Minister Henrik Verwoerd, the founder and architect of Apartheid.
Whether this was an act motivated by madness, or whether it was an action inspired by a political consciousness has been the subject of debate for decades.
Was Dimitri a confused loner, or was he a courageous freedom fighter? This thoroughly researched production presents the possibility that the deeply troubled Tsafendas may have been a sane man living in a strange land.
