He was a member of the Sestigers, a group of influential Afrikaans writers of the 1960s. He wrote Moeder Hanna ("Mother Hanna") in 1959, which was an acclaimed drama about the Second Boer War. In 1962, he wrote the play {{lang|af|Putsonderwater}} ("Well Without Water"), but it could not be performed in South Africa because of its overly political message.[1][2] BiographyBartholomeus Jacobus Smit was born on {{birth date|df=yes|1924|07|15}} in Klerkskraal, near Ventersdorp, South Africa. He graduated from Standerton in 1949 with a bachelor's degree and in 1951 got a Master of Arts degree from the University of Pretoria. In 1949 he met actress Kita Redelinghuys and they married. From 1952 to 1957 they toured Paris, Munich and London as drama students under Jan Rabie. He also immersed himself in philosophy while in Europe.[3] His first publication was the story Outa Lukas, die natuurkind, which was published on 27 March 1941. In the forties he published stories and poems in magazines such as The Sentinel and Huisgenoot. In 1949 the publisher Unie-Boekhandel debuted his first book of poems, Mure: verse.[3] He made his drama debut in 1955 with Moeder Hanna, but really came to public acclaim in 1962 with his play Putsonderwater.[4] In 1978 he received the Hertzog Prize for drama for his body of work.[2] In 1979 he won the Perskor Prize for Literature for Die Keiser. Also, in 1960, he received the Encyclopædia Britannica Award for the English translation of Die verminktes (The Maimed).[3] He died on {{death date|df=yes|1986|12|31}} from cancer. PublicationsPoetry
