Abstract
Mongane Serote, one of South Africa's greatest poets, is dedicating himself to rewriting his personal memory as public memory in most of his poems. He, especially in the early short poems and the first long poem No Baby Must Weep, grafted his personal experiences of apartheid on the experiences of many other black people and expanded them into general ones in South Africa. The tyranny of the whites in South Africa penetrated deep into the daily lives of the blacks and distorted their thoughts and experiences. Therefore, he, being a prophet and spokesman of the blacks, wanted to comfort their wounds, to give them hope for the future, and to awaken their consciousness and make them a subject of the revolution for freedom. In his latest long poem Freedom Lament and Song, he looked at the reality of South Africa after apartheid with the eyes of a witness and historian. He sang their new historical problems and duties as well as their hopes and delights. He described the blacks' long and harsh journey to liberty with affection and criticized the inhumanity and tyranny of the whites. The poem is a kind of topographical chart of South Africa which is made by the tension and harmony of many conflicting elements. The reality of South Africa after apartheid―the evil of racism, sexism, poverty and disease―is also that of all Africa.
