His famous novel Underground People is focused on two characters, Black Cornelius Molapo and White Anthony Fergusson. He is the Black teacher, poet and good speaker in Johannesburg and chairman of local National Liberation Movement. The second one is the White South African Anthony Fergusson who lives in London. This movement works against the racialism of the contemporary White government. He deliberately disappeared from the movement and sent on the Tabanyane mountainous expedition.
