A satire exploring an unfortunate culture of corruption called “eating” which has become synonymous
with corrupt state officials who enrich themselves through government deals and funds. The play
centres around The Man; the principal secretary to a government minister. The Man is corrupt to the
core, and has thoroughly enriched himself within the ranks of his government. He is the main figure
involved in a recent government tender deal gone wrong; causing his extravagant life to come to an
abrupt end. Set in Lesotho in the 1980s, this timeless classic exposes the greed, the destructive
mindsets, and tragic effects behind corruption.
