The Shakespeare Society of Southern Africa is proud to support an exciting initiative by the Tsikinya-Chaka Centre at Wits University: the launch of TCC Press and the publication of new translations of Shakespeare’s plays into Afrikaans (soon to be followed by other African languages).
Last year we posted a blog about Deryck Uys, who has achieved - in his retirement - the astonishing feat of translating all of Shakespeare’s work into Afrikaans! Now, the first title in the TCC Press series of Deryck Uys translations has been published: it is Koning Richard III, soon to be followed by Macbeth, Koning Lear and Romeo en Juliet. Copies can be ordered via the TCC Press online store.
The Deryck Uys Afrikaans Shakespeare translations are made possible by the generosity of TCC partners and sponsors, Legacy Underwriting Managers.
