One of the most famous “ladies in politics” , Evita Bezuidenhout, is in town and you get to meet the man behind the legend. Pieter Dirk Uys (the theatre icon) is ready to share his life story and you can win tickets to this – sure to be side splitting – event.

Uys is bringing two of his solo shows to Port Elizabeth this week, starting with Evita Bezuidenhout and the Kaktus of Separate Development from Thursday February 22 to 24, followed by Echo of a Noise from Monday February 26 to 28.
The character of Tannie Evita has been part of South Africa’s theatrical landscape since 1981 and Uys says this former apartheid ambassador in the Homeland of Bapetikosweti is now ensconced in the kitchens of Luthuli House where she cooks for reconciliation.
In Echo of a Noise the audience sees a more personal side to Uys.(This is the show I am giving away tickets to) but before giving you a chance to win, here are a few of my favourite Tannie Evita tweets:

Forgive my twitter silence yesterday but I was busy feeding all the ex-Zuma bodyguards who weren’t needed. A full-time job. Happy days ahead!

My grandchildren say I must tell you that I am turning 82 tomorrow! No, I won’t!
