Answer:

The statement is false because Mr. M did not die in a car accident, rather he was killed by the mob outside the school.

Step-by-step explanation:

The play "My Children! My Africa! by Harold Athol Lannigan Fugard is about Thami during the mid-1980s. The play focuses on the friendship of two young people, a black boy, and a white girl, and their efforts to make the world more equal.

In Act II scene iii, Thami came to the classroom to warn Mr. M not to organize the debate or take classes. But Mr. M refuses, ringing the bell at the end of each class. And despite Thami's advice and warning, Mr. M goes out to the unruly mob outside the school and gets killed.

Thus, the statement that Mr. M died in a car accident is false because he was killed by a mob outside the school and not in a car accident.
