Description
This is a short story about four friends who have a party shortly after Johannes Kerkorrel's suicide in 2002. They were all students at the time and Voelvry-Io was happening. They were young, drank and rebels. Now they are suburbanites and more resentful. The death of their university friend Johnny still remains a mystery - something that has been happening for four years every year. This is an intelligently constructed story that portrays the tumultuous late-20th century in South Africa convincingly. This was the time when the South African police became aware and when the war between the two countries had a devastating effect on thousands of young duty-bound people.
Vier vriende hou 'n partytjie kort na Johannes Kerkorrel se selfmoord in 2002. So kan hulle weer hulle studentedae op Stellenbosch in die tyd van die
Voelvry-ioer herleef.
Hulle was deurdrenk van die protesmusiek van Kerkorrel, Andre Letoit en Bernoldus Niemand. Toe was hulle jonk, dronk en rebels. Nou is hulle voorstedelik en ontnugter. Die dood van hulle universiteitsvriend Johnny bly egter nog 'n raaisel - iets wat al vier steeds na al die jare teister.
Dit is 'n vernuftig gekonstrueerde stuk waarin die onstuimige laat tagtigerjare in Suid-Afrika oortuigend uitgebeeld word. Dit was die tyd toe die Afrikaanse jeug polities bewus geraak het en toe die grensoorlog 'n verwoestende uitwerking op duisende jong dienspligtiges gehad het.
