The Kanga and the Kangaroo Court is inspired by the courage of a young woman, known variously as “Khwezi” and “the complainant”, who took a principled decision to lay a charge of rape against Jacob Zuma, a man who was to her a father-figure, a family friend, a comrade, and the Deputy President of South Africa.

She took on the fight against considerable odds.  As the Zuma supporters spat the words “Burn the Bitch” outside the courtroom, the young woman faced an interrogation inside.
