“…It is another conspiracy, applied by the West, that makes the black teachers as tools to assert the mastery of the white race as the most culturally and spiriryally race that has been chosen by God to lead and civilize others. 47 . Fugard raises an important issue in post-colonial literature that is of using the literature and language of the colonizer to define the history and culture of the colonized.…”

Abstract-In most of Athol Fugard's plays, the dialectic of the ‗self' and ‗other' is present in the characters who are affected by the people surrounding them and by the situations in which they are put in. These plays of Fugard depict not only the political and social conditions of South Africa during the vicious regime of apartheid, which started in 1948 to 1991, but they also describe the human conditions of black and coloured people. One of these plays is, My children! My Africa! which represents Fugard's hope of united, democratic, non racial South Africa governed by the wise and well educated Black and White people. The play witnesses the creation of the -new self‖ that represents a sign of hope after the inevitable end of apartheid. This new self will lead the country to a promising future rather than a bloodbath when the country is governed by the mob.
