Thought-provoking seminar by the well-known Antjie Krog

Posted on September 09, 2011

Krog’s paper involved an analysis and interpretation of a Belgian comic book, part of the popular “Suske en Wiske” series called Kaapse Kaalkoppen and set in South Africa. Nelson Mandela briefly features in this comic and Krog concentrated specifically on the nature of the representation of Mandela and his views on reconciliation in South Africa. The seminar resulted in a stimulating discussion during which Krog gave many challenging opinions about South African society. This seminar was a definite highlight in the Faculty Seminar Series.
