The question is reiterated in the very Brechtian Love, Crime and Johannesburg, the story of Jimmy ‘Long Legs’ Mangane, a people’s poet involved in the struggle, who is accused of robbing a bank.  He passionately asserts his innocence, claiming to work for the ‘secret secret service’.\u003cbr\u003eLewis, his old friend and comrade from the struggle, now owns a bank. How did this happen? The man of the struggle is now a man of accounts. A man of the nineties. Part of the cell phone generation. Added to the mix is an old-style gangster, two girlfriends, a Jewish father and a very unusual Chief of Police.\u003cbr\u003eDescribed as one of the first genuine post-apartheid plays, Love, Crime and Johannesburg is a witty, light-hearted account of life in the City of Gold at the turn of the millennium. A must for all students of South African theatre. Winner of the 2000 Vita Award for best script of a new South African Play.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IndiePubs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48094671274235,"sku":"9781868146482","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_4b882805-b35a-4034-8510-d4ec1ba80f7e.jpg?v=1776226340","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/love-crime-and-johannesburg-9781868146482","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
