Abstract
The focus of this essay is literature in South African English (SAE). The novels and drama written in English in South Africa have come to be marked as distinctly South African, not simply because they are set in that country, but because the variety of English in which they are written places them as products of a unique, multi-layered, highly complex society. Its very diversity signals the acknowledgement of the solid existence of other languages and other speakers. But the nature and extent of the acknowledgement varies a great deal, fraught as this recognition is with weighty political implications.
