One of the themes in my children!my Africa !is hope..discuss this theme

Athol Fugard wrote the play based on the experiences of black people he knew and his daughter's experience growing up as a white woman during apartheid. The play asks about the individual's responsibility in relation to questions of social justice. Mr. M believes that a broken or prejudiced political system must be attacked from the inside, with knowledge. In contrast, Thami believes that such a political system must be destroyed with force. Both Thami and Mr. M have hope for a better South Africa for blacks but through different means. At the same time any hope or optimism Mr. M and Thami have is tinged with a sense of fatalism. They see racial barriers of apartheid entrenched in stone.
