Description
Lydenburg 1875. Unready for a war with the Pedi, Boer officialdom needs a scapegoat. When a Pedi man is killed by his Swazi adversary in what the latter claims was a fair fight, a show trial is staged. The accused - known only as Rooizak- is convicted and sentenced to death. As he awaits execution he is visited by Albert Nachtigal and other missionaries intent on saving his soul.
