Fresh footsteps is a play that is developed by four women who are Medu members, Theresa Devant and Lulu Emmig. The play is about South African liberation struggle affected women living in Botswana and the issues facing them as women, the workshop facilitation by Mongane Serote.
The theme of poetry and music is about the world-wide and age-old oppression. It is a participation of different countries such as South America, Europe and Southern Africa.
The title of this Medu special edition is "No to the White Republic, Yes to the People's Republic". While PW Botha held celebrations for the anniversary of the Apartheid republic, Medu used this edition to say "Stop the Republic Day Festival". Bachana Mokwena's article on the 20th anniversary of the "bloodthirsty republic" gives a strong historical background to the processes of the republics formation, and the united opposition against it. Further, John Donne writes about Grigori Oganov's insight into the relationship between culture and resistance and between art, artists and their communities. Artworks by Thami Mnyele and Judy Seidman are included throughout the publication, including a sharp and graphic description of black life in South Africa entitled "Fragments: A Brief Comment on Black Lives in South Africa" by Thami Mnyele.
