SOL PLAATJE: SELECTED WRITINGS. BRIAN WILLAN, ED. ATHENS, OH: OHIO UNIVERSITY PRESS, 1997, 483pp., paper $29.95. Solomon Tshekisho Plaatje (1876-1932) was one of the foremost African leaders of his generation in South Africa. As the first general secretary of the African National Congress (ANC), founded in 1912, Plaatje was a prominent political spokesperson, interacting regularly with government officials and other leading whites in both South Africa and Great Britain. Plaatje was much more than a political figure, however. Prior to the formation of the ANC, he was a court interpreter at Mafeking, where he became caught up in the famous siege during the Anglo-Boer War (1). After the war he became editor of two successive newspapers, Koranta ea Becoana (Bechuana Gazette) and Tsala ea Becoana (The Friend of the Bechuana), both published in Setswana and English. As one of the band of pioneering African newspaper editors, he viewed his role as that of a "mouthpiece" for his people. It was this role that brought him to prominence and led to his selection as ANC general secretary. Plaatje was a significant writer. His political tract

PLAATJE, Soloman Tshekisho (187 S olomon Tshekisho Plaatje was one of the most gifted and versatile black South Africans of his generation. He was in the forefront of the public affairs of the African people for the greater part of his adult life as politician, writer and journalist. He devoted his many talents to one overriding cause: the struggle of African people against injustice and dispossession during the second half of the nineteenth and the early part of the twentieth century, that saw the country of his birth transformed from a colonial backwater into an industrial state. Plaatje was an accomplished linguist fluent in at least seven languages, but apart from writing in English he was very much preoccupied with the preservation of the Setswana language. He compiled the first Setswana phonetic reader titled A Sechuana Reader, a bilingual collection of Tswana folklore in collaboration with a well-known linguist, Daniel Jones, during his first trip to England. He also collected Setswana proverbs producing Sechuana Proverbs with Literal Translations during the same period. His preoccupation with the writings of Shakespeare led to the translation of several of his plays into Setswana of which only Diphosho-Phosho (Comedy of Errors) and Dikhontsho tsa bo-Juliuse Kesara (Julius Caesar) survived.
