Matjila and Karen Haire have mined the archive to produce the first English translation of Seetsele Modiri Molema's biography, Lover of His People: Sol Plaatje. In this account, Molema balances Plaatje's public and political persona-as a pioneer black politician and man of letters-with an intimate account, illuminating the spirit of Plaatje by painting a personal portrait of this leading South African figure and his impact on South Africa's political and cultural.
