Casey Motsisi

Karabo Moses Motsisi, known as Casey, was born in 1932 in Johannesburg. A former pupil of Can Themba, he became his right-hand man when Themba recruited his former pupils for Drum, the Golden City Post and the newspaper Africa!. A reporter at Drum, he wrote there a comic column in which two bedbugs conversed, and proclaimed himself the “Shakespeare of the shebeens”, those illicit township bars that were the subject of almost all his writings. He died in 1977.
