LOCATION-

The white area is Transkei, the region where the mother was from.

The Transkei has many rivers flowing from the mountains to the oceans, so unlike much of South Africa, it is relatively unscathed by drought.

The main language is isiXhosa, which has distinctive click consonants.

The time the play is set in, is in the 60s, and thus the state was still under the Souith African government, only gaining independance from it in 1976.

The climate of both Durban and Transkei are about the same since they are locvated in rel;atively the same region. An Average temperatre between 23 to 28 all year round. Thus the clothes of the people aren't that thin, but neither are they too thick.

As you can seee, Durban is located outside Transeki's borders, a little to its North.. Beter pick of Durban follows-




Yup, thats where Durban is located, right at the bottom of Africa, along the coast. It is a very very furtile place, with most people involved in agriculture.
