I would recommend that you look at the works of Sindiwe Magona.  I'm
familiar with three of her works--Forced to Grow, To My Children's
Children, and Living, Loving and Lying Awake at Night--, all of which
were written in the early 1990s.  (All published through Interlink Books
in NYC.)  I've heard she also has two more recent works out.  In her
work, she reflects back on her experiences as a woman growing up under
apartheid.  

Athol Fugard has written a post-apartheid play called Valley Song.  You
might also look to the works of Zakes Mda such as Ways of Dying and She
Plays With the Darkness.
