<p>The flamboyant, hilarious and much-loved Evita Bezuidenhout, affectionately known as Tannie Evita, is one of the most popular creations of veteran performer and activist Pieter Dirk-Uys. In <em>Evita Bezuidenhout</em><em> and The Kaktus of Separate Development</em>, the always outspoken Evita weighs in on the biggest issues of the day such as fake news, alternative facts, state capture and Donald Trump, asking such pertinent questions as; Why does President Donald Trump keep sending tweets asking for a personal meeting with Nelson Mandela? and Was Paul Kruger the first Broeder to practise state capture?<br /> <br /> The indomitable Evita first stepped onto the South African stage in 1981 as the apartheid state's 'Ambassador to the Homeland of Bapetikosweti' and has ever since been one of Pieter Dirk-Uys's most popular characters known for her sly wit and outrageous style.</p>
