This production is based on the life of the Thembu Woman Regent who ruled from 1848 for an unknown period of time.
The Cape Colonial government put her in charge, but they underestimated her - when they wanted to replace her, she refused to give up her position. She was the wife of the Thembu King Ngubengcuka (Vusani) ka Ndaba.
