Dintshontsho tsa bo-Juliuse Kesara is a translation into Setswana of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, by the renowned South African thinker, writer and linguist Sol T. Plaatje, who was also a gifted stage actor. Plaatje first encountered the works of Shakespeare when he saw a performance of Hamlet as a young man; it ignited a great love in him for the works of the Elizabethan dramatist. Many years later he translated several of Shakespeare's plays into Setswana in a series called Mabolelo a ga Tsikinya-Chaka ('The Sayings of Shakespeare'.) Dintshontsho tsa bo-Juliuse Kesara went to print five years after Plaatje's death, in 1937, published in the Bantu (later, African) Treasury Series by the University of the Witwatersrand Press.
