A Drink in the Passage
A Drink in the Passage
Alan Paton
In the year 1960 the Union of South Africa celebrated its Golden Jubilee, and there was a nationwide sensation when the
one-thousand-pound prize for the finest piece of sculpture was won by a black man, Edward Simelane. His work, African
Mother and Child, not only excited the admiration, but touched the conscience or heart or whatever it was that responded,
of white South Africa, and seemed likely to make him famous in other countries.
It was by an oversight that his work was accepted, for it was the policy of the government that all the celebrations and
competitions should be strictly segregated. The committee of the sculpture section received a private reprimand for having
been so careless as to omit the words for whites only from the conditions, but was told, by a very high personage, it is
said, that if Simelanes work was indisputably the best, it should receive the award. The committee then decided that this
prize must be given along with the others, at the public ceremony which would bring this particular part of the celebrations
to a close.
For this decision it received a surprising amount of support from the white public; but in certain powerful quarters, there
was an outcry against any departure from the traditional policies of the country, and a threat that many white prize-
winners would renounce their prizes. However, a crisis was averted, because the sculptor was unfortunately unable to
attend the ceremony.
I wasnt feeling up to it, Simelane said mischievously to me. My parents, and my wifes parents, and our priest, decided that I
wasnt feeling up to it. And finally I decided so too. Of course Majosi and Sola and the others wanted me to go and get my
prize personally, but I said, boys, Im a sculptor, not a demonstrator.
This cognac is wonderful, he said, especially in these big
