I spent an hour with Pieter-Dirk Uys in the lounge of the Soho Hotel, just around the corner from the theatre and a convenient haven for his quiet time ahead of each performance. What transpired was a deeply personal, courageous, thoughtful and wickedly funny discourse. As you’ll hear, it ranges from sharing his own creating process to his famous stage personality Evita Bezuidenhout’s relationships with Madiba, Pik Botha and others to outspoken views on HIB/Aids, Malema, Ramaphosa, South Africa’s future and the country’s world famous comic export Trevor Noah. Thinking about the interview afterwards, it dawned on me its timing was perfect. Now 72, but still learning and improving, Uys is at the peak of his intellectual powers and beyond the point where he counts his words. Also, putting together a 90 minute biographical show, he would have gone through a deeply reflective process, unearthing much new material shared with us here. As you’ll hear in this extraordinary interview, even though admitting it’s tough for his white mouth to now be heard by a black ear, Pieter Dirk Uys hasn’t lost his knack for getting fellow South Africans to ask uncomfortable questions of themselves. Gently opening eyes rather than poking them out with a stick.

Stephen Sackur speaks to South African satirist, Pieter-Dirk Uys. Leaders who routinely abuse their power cannot stand to be laughed at. Satire is a potent political weapon. That is a truth Pieter-Dirk Uys has exploited for 40 years. He styles himself as "the most famous white woman in South Africa." Thanks to his alter ego Auntie Evita - a character he created to poke fun at the white Afrikaner establishment during the apartheid era, and which he now uses to lampoon Jacob Zuma and the ANC. But are there dangers in playing South Africa's recent history for laughs?(Photo: South African satirist Pieter-Dirk Uys in the Hardtalk studio)

Een van Suid-AFrika se bekendste wit vroue het gister by die Kaapstad Persklub haar "Luthuli Housekeeping"-verslag bekend gemaak. Die satirikus, Pieter Dirk Uys, het by monde van Tannie Evita Bezuidenhout, in die aanloop tot president Zuma se Staatsrede, haar sterk uitgespreek oor 'n hele paar aangeleenthede.

Die vermaarde satirikus en komediant Pieter-Dirk Uys is na 35 jaar terug op die verhoog van die Markteater in Johannesburg. Uys het sy eenmanvertoning, Adapt or Die, in 1981 vir die eerste keer in hierdie teater opgevoer. Nou is hy terug met Adapt or Fly. Izak du Plessis praat met hom oor sy loopbaan as satirikus. Hy wou by hom weet of humor vandag anders lyk as 35 jaar gelede.

Die politieke satirikus Pieter-Dirk Uys sê verkiesings gee vir hom die beste materiaal vir sy tong-in-die-kies vertonings. Hy sê hy het in die afgelope verkiesing reeds 'n klomp flaters van politici ge-identifiseer waarmee hy die spot sal kan dryf.

Die teaterpersoonlikheid Pieter-Dirk Uys het homself uitgespreek oor humor in politiek, veral tydens 'n verkiesingsjaar. Hy moedig almal aan om selfsugtig op die 7de Mei te gaan stem. Uys het by die Universiteit van KwaZulu-Natal 'n eredoktorsgraad in letterkunde ontvang vir sy kreatiewe bydrae tot maatskaplike aktivisme.

Moenie die verreikende gevolge van 'n fout wat in 1995 gemaak is, misloop nie. Klim op die trein en beleef die mense van Darling eerstehands.
